Giant Bird and Ugly Paintings

Western Civilization class today was…interesting. We took notes on our next new topic and made-fun of medieval artwork and plows. In fact we even renamed the plow, the “I-plow” for some apparent reason. Also, the grammar! Oh, good gosh, the grammatical errors made by the publisher that made the PowerPoint were countless. Then, the artwork we saw was horrendous. I mean really, the quail, or at least that is what we thought it was, came up to at least chest level on the women feeding it. On top of that, the women’s feet were disproportional and bloody. The next painting we looked at was an attempt to show depth. However, this was a miserable failure at perspective. I mean really, I've seen amateur work better than it. For his painting, to try to show depth, he painted everything vertically. Meaning, that if something was farther back, it was placed farther up the page. It was almost as if humanity’s progress had just decided to plummet. To show how even more pathetic they were, the biggest technological breakthrough was a plow with wheels. I mean really, People LOOOONG before the Romans and Greeks had invented the wheel, and people have been using plows since not long after the idea of farming first came about.
