Today, Tuesday 28th of October, in the class of Social Sciences we have continued with point
D) CULTURE AND ART: Scientific Revolution, Empiricism, Rationalism and Baroque art.
Yesterday, Paqui gave to us some homework: we had to look for the definition of Empiricism and Rationalism. So, at first, we have corrected this two definitions. Gema has read her definition of Empiricism: Method of knowledge based on experience; observing nature, formulating hyphoteses, testing them and writing a theory. And then I have read my definition of Rationalism: Method of knowledge based on the use of reason to learn. It was started by the philossopher René Descartes. Doubt was basic for him to start warning. After this, Paqui has corrected the mistakes and she has explained Empiricism and Rationalism to us. Also, Paqui has explained the main features of the rational been (thinking), and she also has write on the blackboard a small summary about Rationalism; COGITO ERGO SUM (latin sentence), which means: I think, therefore I exist.
Paqui has also talk about the life of Leonardo da Vinci and Galileo Galilei.
Then, she has told us the discoveries during the 17th century, and we have talk about the scientifics of this century. The most important scientifics were Newton, Leibriz, Kepler, Galileo Galilei and Copérnico; all them lived on the protestant countries of the Holy Roman Empire. Paqui has explained the life of Galileo Galilei; he didn't was killed, but he was recanted, because science was opposite with religion. Galileo said that the Earth revolved around the Sun; and society didn't think this, they thought that all the planets turned around the Earth.
Paqui has also talk about the Royal academy of Language and Art created in Madrid during the 18th century. And then we have talk about the TV serie of Isabel. In the episode of yesterday, the king Charles I was born; son of Joanna of Castile, more known as Joanana the Mad; daughter of the Catholic Monarchs.
After this, Paqui has explained to us that the society of this century thought that when the children born, touch them was a sin. And the hygiene was used to prevent illnesses.
Later, we have started with Baroque art. We have seem a Power Point presentation and Paqui has said that Baroque art is a realistic art, with straigh lines, geometric and simple forms. She has told us that "baroque" is a perjorative word to define and exuberant and exaggeraded art in contrast to Renaissance art and New Classicism. And also the chronology of Baroque art: Predominant style during 17th century and part of 18th century. Some examples of Baroque art are: Collegiate Church of Catania, Italy; Square and Colonnade of Saint Peter of the Vatican, Bernini; Versailles Palace...
Paqui has also explained the differences between Baroque art and Renaissance art:
RENAISSANCE ART
- Balance.
- Ideal of beauty.
- Simplicity.
- Proportions
- Straight lines.
- Predominance of drawing over colour and light.
BAROQUE ART.
- Movement.
- Realism in representations.
- Complexity.
- Interest in suprissing the audience.
- Curved lines, concave and convex.
- Predominance of colour and light over drawing.
And finally, we have copied some new words in our glossary, like:
- I wish I: Ójala.
- To set free: Liberar.
- To lose ground: Perder terreno.
- To recant: Retractarse.
- Eppur Si Muove: The Earth move.
- Hygiene: Higiene.
- Pearl: Perla.
- Exuberant: Exuberante.
- Balance: Equilibrio.
Today was an interesting lesson.
Galileo Galilei.
Collegiate Church of Catania, Italy.
Versailles Palace.
Square and Colonnade of Saint Peter of the Vatican, Bernini, Rome.

Hi Nuria!
Your Journal is almost perfect, you've said all the things we did in Tuesday's lesson the only mistakes I cant tell you are: you have written "philossopher" and it's "philosopher" also you have written "scientifics" and it's "scientists" and the last thing is "seem" and it's "seen".
Very good Nuria!! See you tomorrow!!
Hello Nuria!
Your journal is so good and very complete. I like to much your picture of the Versailles Palaces because is so beautiful.
Good Job! See you! :)
Hello,
These are my comments and corrections:
- Add the sources of the pictures you've included, please.
- ...we have corrected these two definitions.
- Doubt was basic for him to start learning.
- ...rational beings (thinking), and she has also written a small summary about Rationalism on the blackboard;
COGITO ERGO SUM (Latin sentence), which means: I think, therefore I exist.
You should explain why I talked about Descartes' quote "I think, therefore I exist"
- Paqui has also talked about the life of Leonardo da Vinci and Galileo Galilei.
Why did I speak about them? It has to do with the scientific method.
- and we have talked about the scientists of this
century.
- Leibniz,
- ...all them lived in the Protestant countries or in the Protestant States of the Holy Roman Empire.
- Galileo... wasn't killed, but he had to recant because science said the opposite to religion. Galileo said that the Earth turned around the Sun; and thew Church and the INquisitionsociety didn't think this, they thought that all the planets turned around the Earth.
-...has also talked about the Royal academies of Language and Art
-...more known as Joanna
the Mad;
- This sentence is wrong: After this, Paqui has explained to us that the society of this century thought that when the children born, touch them was a sin. And the hygiene was used to prevent illnesses.
Erase it. I talked about hygiene. They were very dirty because they thought that touching their body was a sin and that's why they didn't take baths oftenly. Soap was very expensive as well. That's why illnesses spread so quicjly and many children died at a very early age.
- Baroque artists didn't use straight lines, geometric and simple forms. These are features of Renaissance art
- pejorative
- Eppur Si Muove: The Earth moves.
That's all. Correct what I have told you. Bye!
You didn't correct it and you didn't add the sources of the pictures.
