Week One Discussion: Science and Society and Technology
Read Chapters 21 and 22, listen to the lectures, look at the power points, and post an original reply to both of the following questions. Post early in the week and reply to at least one classmate's post with thoughtful details. **Each weekly discussion is worth 20 points. Take your time and give us as much insight and detail as you can. **
1. Identify a scientific discovery or invention from the 1400s to 1600s and explain what impact it had on society at the time it was discovered or invented. Refer to the text or a website as a source. Before posting, read over what your classmates have chosen and try to choose a different invention. What would you have invented if you lived in this time period?
2. Each week you will get to choose the most important "person of the week." For week one, your choices are Caravaggio, an artist who uses light and dark in his paintings of biblical scenes for dramatic effect, and Rembrandt, who is known for his magnificent and realistic self-portraits. Look at the pictures in our text and at these links and then choose one artist you feel is more important.
Caravaggio: http://www.artble.com/artists/caravaggio Here are some details from that website: Caravaggio's works constitute some of the most stunning works in the entire history of Western painting. Observing the evolution of his style from his early works (The Fortune Teller, Bacchus and Narcissus) to his major successes (The Calling of Saint Matthew and Doubting Thomas) to his final paintings (David with the Head of Goliath) is like watching the tumultuous ups and downs of his life.
Rembrandt: http://www.rembrandtpainting.net
Here are some details from that website: No artist has left a loftier or more penetrating personal testament than Rembrandt van Rijn. In more than 90 portraits of himself that date from the outset of his career in the 1620s to the year of his death in 1669, he created an autobiography in art that is the equal of the finest ever produced in literature even of the intimately analytical Confessions of St. Augustine. Who is the more important artist of these two men, in your opinion, and why?

Remebrandt seems to be more interesting to me due to his extraordinary collection of self portraits he created communicating to his inner self it seems to me Rembrandt really admired the lifestyle of an artist he was dedicated to art and communicating things through his art work I do find it highly interesting that instead of a autobiography book full of words Rembrandt used art to tell his story and with the art I know peoples can capture and connect with him through his art work. Garret Morgan and African American inventor of the sewing machine 1400-1600s , the sewing machine has been beneficial to us all from making clothes , hair weaves , shoes , anything that needs stitching, needing to be sewn into one another even used in major manufacturing companies and business to house home use the sewing machine will always be a superb invention

To achieve absolutism one must present as price the abilities of powerfulness, leadership , ability to maintain and construct order gain and keep respect and attention of congregations. Versailles the symbol of absolute monarchies Louis XIV attempted to construct balance of nobility independence avoiding confrontations , in tune with artistry and warrior fighting to maintain the palace of Versailles and it’s golden rules of absolute monarchy. Louis XIV passed of gangrene. The hall of mirrors is beautiful decorated and open and there’s a lot of natural light coming through from both sides, as a game design setting for a clue game Morris and reflecting all things I felt this could be used because mirrors can be tricky for one and games all have a twist to them , it would begin with searching for clues pertaining to Louis the 14ths rituals beginning his day to the end of his day , every room in the house could be included in the clue game , looking for items that don’t belong , out place , mic & match , guessing who’s is what . Featuring the king and queen as the ones in each other corridors and chambers to reconfigure and replace and put back the items in the correct places the nobleman will keep score and whoever loses between the log and queen has to complete a very kind gesture
