Recently the 10th graders were able to go on a field trip to the Cloisters museum in New York City, a Medieval art museum. The Cloisters is a museum made up of real architecture from churches and monasteries in Europe, with art that dates from the 800’s A.D. to 1500’s A.D. The students really enjoyed seeing some real pieces of art and analyzing how they illustrated art from that time period. This was a great culmination activity at the end of our Middle Ages unit. We moved onto the Renaissance shortly after that and have been discussing the new ideas, which had greatly shaped and continue to shape our ideas about the world around us. During this time period we have been able to discuss the Protestant Reformation and the impact that has had on our faith. The students have been able to engage this topic and realize how their own faith was influenced by the ideas of Luther and Calvin.
