Leonardo, Raphael, Michaelangleo and Donatello...More than Ninja Turtles--Who knew?

I kid... of course I knew that these names were of great Italian Renaissance artist but that was about it. I am in grad school and I have one more semester left in my program. Since the beginning I kept saying I was going to take the Italian Renaissance Art History class. So, this semester I finally did. I think it is safe to say I have spent more time on this item on the list than any other.

I have been to Italy and have seen a lot of the great works up close and personal. But, I wanted to know what makes each one of the artist so great. Since I have no artistic ablity, I appreciate those who do. I had it my mind that an art history class would be easy. Little did I know, it really history told through art. My professor was "Goode" (actually she was great but her name is Goode) and has an enourmous passion for art that she past along to me.

The best part of the semester was "Bring a Friend to Class Day" which was last Monday night. I thought Todd would enjoy it b/c we were discussing Venice one of our favorite cities. I loved this class so much that next semester I am taking the Modern Art History class. Hopefully, I did well and maybe in my next life I can be a guide in Italian Art Museum.
