School of Athens


In the painting, The School of Athens, I would be the guy who is on the right studying mathematics by a teacher. This part is the background because they can be describing the setting or the area they are in right now. The person who is teaching is named, Archemides, who is teaching his students about mathematics. I would like to be the person who is listening to Archemides about math because math is my favorite subject and that i also like numbers. I would be that guy because i would like to teach people something out of my knowledge and also i want to teach people what I think math should be taught.

This art can be a mirror of society by telling what the people in the renaissance did. By looking at the picture, someone can tell that in the Renaissance, it was a time of Rebirth because many people did not have access to knowledge back in the Middle ages. But this tells many people had access to books and knowledge.
