A mirror to Society


How can art be a mirror of society?

Art is not just a plain piece of paper with some colors on top. It is a mirror to talent, beauty and even society. Some of the greatest painting were looked upon at and one of Renaissance's greatest painting was a piece called 'School of Athens' by Raphael. It was a true reflection to the Renaissance world. It showed the concept of the rebirth of curiosity. People could start learning about what they want to learn such as anatomy, science, math, and architecture. In the background you can see many different architecture styles such as the arches, columns and symmetries. In the front you see many people working and studying such as the person studying the globe at the bottom right or the person who is studying and writing in a book at the bottom left. Art can be a well construct of a mirror of society and this art has taken care of every little part for showing how the concept of the rebirth of curiously was the main focus of the Renaissance society. 


Who would I be? 

If I was in the painting I would be Alcibiades Cleiniou Scambonides. He is at the bottom left on top with the stairs. Alcibiades Cleiniou Scambonides was a strategic advisor, military commander, and politician. Since I like watching T.V shows such as C.S.I I love how they show the people about how the crimes were conducted and how law can control the peace in the world. In C.S.I they show about how crime scene investigators use many different ways to take the suspect down which Alcibiades Cleiniou Scambonides does by being a person who knows what he should do to take down the opposing army. I also like to be a person who can govern countries and take control of work. Which Alcibiades Cleiniou Scambonides does by being a politician. This is why I think I should be Alcibiades Cleiniou Scambonides.
