lecture reflection 2/8 (not foundation, art history)

since i slept through the jewelry department presentation (not intentionally), i'm going to do my reflection about my art history lecture from yesterday instead. we're covering italy between the thirteenth and fifteenth centuries. i went to italy during the summer of 2009 with my high school art teacher and class, and we saw a lot of the work i'm learning about in class now. at the time i didn't understand the significance of what i was looking at (say, the Arena Chapel and its innovations in composition). now the work means much more, and i wish i could have taken this class before going. it's not a loss, really- i'm going back for second semester of junior year, to temple's rome campus. art heritage is just making me even more excited for that.
