4. Think about it…
IF WE ARE IN MEDIEVAL
TIMES, HOW WOULD THE
PEOPLE INTERPRET THIS
CATASTROPHY?
(Remember the Bubonic Plague!)
How would an atheist intepret
this catastrophy?
Why?
5. TARGET…
• Define Rennaisance
• Analyze the factor that paved
the way for Rennaisance
• Appreciate the uniqueness of
every person/individual
6. The Legend of the Phoenix
• The legend of the Phoenix has
been around for centuries. There
are a few variations, but the
basic idea is this: The Phoenix is
a supernatural creature, living
for 1000 years. Once that time is
over, it builds its own funeral
pyre, and throws itself into the
flames. As it dies, it is reborn
anew, and rises from the ashes
to live another 1000 years.
Alternatively, it lays an egg in the
burning coals of the fire which
hatches into a new Phoenix, and
the life cycle repeats.
7. What was the Renaissance?
Period following the middle ages (1450-1550)
• French word which means “Rebirth” of classical
Greece and Rome
• Began in Italy
• Moved to northern Europe
The Vitruvian Man by Da Vinci epitomizes
the spirit of Renaissance
10. "The Renaissance gave birth to the
modern era, in that it was in this era that
human beings first began to think of
themselves as individuals. In the early
Middle Ages, people had been happy to
see themselves simply as parts of a
greater whole – for example, as members
of a great family, trade guild, nation, or
Church. This communal consciousness of
the Middle Ages gradually gave way to the
individual consciousness of the
Renaissance."
