Hello classmates! 

Today in social sciences we have done several things. First I have gone to Paqui's table to justify an absence. Today we have finished with the Baroque art. 

Paqui has said the last day we were watching different concepts of beauty, all the details about the paintings of Rembrandt. This morning Paqui looking information about "Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Nicolaes Tulp" of Rembrandt. We have talked about it that in this painting the doctor (surgeon) is doing an autopsy to this body and the people around were seen to them, that were a group of people of the same proffession.  Autopsies in this period were done in theatres room because they were public. The corpse belonged to a hung criminal. The Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Nicolaes Tulp, tells that was the type of society there was in this period.

Paqui has  taught the painting of  "The Menines", "The Guernica" and "Venus with a Mirror" in the new decoration of the class made by Paqui and Mari Carmen Lázaro, and she has said that these paintings have different opinions. 

All these paintings represent the light of the atmosphere. We have compared all these paintings with the paintings of Caravaggio (that are more religious) Flander's paintings...etc.

With this information we have finished the Baroque Art.

Paqui has started a new powerpoint presentation about "The Iberian Peninsula in the 16th and 17th century" :

After we have started a new point called: " The Iberian Peninsula in the  16th and 17th century" and we have remembered the 16th century in the Iberian Peninsula, the Hispanic Empire that we studied in 2º E.S.O. and about the Catholic Monarch (Isabella and Fernando and the song of Tanto Monta Monta Tanto). Paqui has said that there is a TV series of Isabella, we have remembered that the different territories that Aragón and Castile. They have five childrens but the heir and the only survivor was Joana the Mad (Juana la Loca) and she was married with Philip the Handsome ( Felipe el hermoso) and they have a son that was Charles I that heir of a inmense empire. Today we have started with the events that happened during the reign of the Charles I, Philip II, Philip III, Philip IV and Charles III.
3.-The Iberian Peninsula in the 16th and 17th century.

-16th century: SPLENDOUR OF THE HISPANIC MONARCHY
     *Charles I (V in the Holy Roman Empire)
     *Philip II

-17th century: DECLINE OF THE HISPANIC MONARCHY
     *Philip III
     *Philip IV
     *Charles III

And Paqui has explained that Charles II was mentally and phisically disabled (Luis has said that one person of the class are disabled, all the class have laughed) and Paqui has showed some photo of Charles I (he was very ugly).

This happened because their ancestors have sons with members of the same family.  He didn't talk properly till he was 4 years old and he didn't walk well since he was 8 years old. At least Charles I tried to rule because his father and his grandfather had other preferences (women, party...).


Paqui has showed some pictures of the royal family and she has said that they were dressedin black because it was the period of "The Counter Reformation" .

We have looked a map about Charles I's heritage where the territories were represent in different colours.

In the finish of the class we have copied a scheme about Charles I that we have to complete with the information of the pages 92 and 93. 

The scheme is this:

Finally, the bell has rung and Paqui has given us for homework to do a scheme about Charles I with the pages 92-93. Today's class has been noisy, we should pay more attention. 

Have a nice day!!

See you tomorrow :)
