Copernicus published a book in 1543 arguing the sun, not Earth, was the center of the universe, contradicting the Church's view. Tycho Brahe made careful astronomical observations, and Kepler used this data to prove Copernicus correct through his laws of planetary motion. Galileo observed mountains on the Moon and sunspots with his telescope, further supporting Copernicus, but was tried by the Inquisition for his beliefs and spent his life under house arrest. The Scientific Revolution thus changed views on the universe through new evidence and scientific methods.
1. During the Italian Renaissance, art was used to communicate social, political, and spiritual values. Wealthy Italian families and banking interests spent large sums patronizing artists.
2. Renaissance art was characterized by increased realism, use of linear perspective, classical influences like symmetry and balance, and emphasis on individualism and portraiture.
3. Famous Renaissance artists included Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Raphael, Botticelli, and Donatello. Their works reflected humanism, scientific observation, and mastery of techniques like chiaroscuro. Northern Renaissance art had more emphasis on realism, landscapes, and middle-class life.
1) Dante Alighieri wrote The Divine Comedy in the early 14th century, vividly describing his journey through the nine circles of hell and giving people a perspective on the afterlife.
2) The Black Death pandemic in 1348 killed over 40% of Europe's population and took 150 years for the population to recover, altering feudal systems and inspiring new medical research.
3) Johannes Gutenberg invented the mechanical printing press in the 1440s, which greatly increased the production and spread of texts and ideas.

Saint Bridget of Sweden was a patron saint of Europe in the 14th century known for her charity and piety. She founded the Bridgettine order and influenced many women through her religious life and example. She traveled to Italy seeking approval from the Pope for her new order and waited 18 years to establish it, though she did not live to see the founding of the monastery she hoped to establish.
Wealthy merchant families in Italian city-states like Florence and Milan grew very rich through trade and banking during the Renaissance, and became important patrons of the arts. Figures like Cosimo de' Medici in Florence and the Sforza family in Milan both grew wealthy and ruled their cities while supporting many artistic and scholarly projects. The Renaissance saw a revival of interest in classical Greco-Roman ideals of humanism, secularism, and intellectual thought that influenced literature, art, architecture and more across Italy and eventually northern Europe as well.
You are a law student from Holland studying in Bologna, Italy during the Renaissance period. You have greatly enjoyed learning about the advances in art, literature, and science happening in Italy and meeting influential Renaissance figures. Now a lawyer has offered you a job in Bologna, providing an opportunity to stay in Italy and continue benefiting from the vibrant culture, though it means postponing your return home to Holland.
The document discusses names from the Renaissance period and how they have become ingrained in modern culture. It notes that while names like Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Donatello are well known, they only scratch the surface of the many artists from this time period. The Renaissance saw a shift from religious-focused art to a more human perspective as sciences grew and knowledge of anatomy expanded. This helped shape new artistic trends.

Industrial Tech SW: Category Renewal and CreationChristian Dahlen
Every industrial revolution has created a new set of categories and a new set of players.
Multiple new technologies have emerged, but Samsara and C3.ai are only two companies which have gone public so far.
Manufacturing startups constitute the largest pipeline share of unicorns and IPO candidates in the SF Bay Area, and software startups dominate in Germany.
2. (1231-1600) Inquisition
During the 1231-1600, inquisition trails
were happening because the church
accused some people for heresy and
not believing what the church thought.
People like Galileo, Joan of Arc and
Martin Luther were accused of being a
heretic.
Some heretics got burnt at the stake,
humiliated publicly, locked up in the
dungeon doors etc.
Joan of Arc was burnt, accused of
heresy, (but later on she was praised as
a saint).
Many people converted themselves into This is a painting of Galileo’s inquisition

I think the inquisition is important event
because it killed, tortured people who
did not deserve to die. Just because
people believe in different things, it
does not mean you have to kill them.
3. (1265-1321) Dante Alighieri
Dante, born in June 1265 in Florence. He
is a Italian poet, politician, theorist
mostly known for his poem called
Inferno, expressing his journey through
The 9 Sins of Hell.
His poem gave more detail on hell than
the bible, this made people even more
scared and shock. Inferno made people
more aware about what might happen
in hell, depending on what type of bad
sins they committed. This made people
more careful about their actions and
some converting to Christians because
of the fear of going to hell. At that time,
people redeemed themselves by paying
money to the priests/church to go to
heaven. But, some people like Martin
Luther disagreed with this and created
new religions.
This is a painting of Dante.
It affects modern society because
Christian people still believe in The 9
Sins of Hell. Several games, movies and
tv shows are inspired by Dante’s Inferno.
Christianity wouldn’t be the same
without Dante’s poem, Inferno.
4. (1287-) Invention of Eye Glasses and
Spectacles
Historians were not sure of when they were
invented but saw them in paintings in1287.
Eye glasses had been developed over the past
hundred of years.
Eye glasses help us to see better
and help people with eye
problems, or bad eye sights to see
clearer. I am wearing glasses, and it
helps me for the past few years to
see better. For example, it helps

humans would have a hard time to
read and see things. Millions of
people depend on eye glasses. Eye
glasses have been developed into
sun glasses, contact lens, with
fashion trends.

He was a really famous and great Chinese This is a painting

expedition in history. He took 7 voyages to
south east Asia, south Asia, middle east
and east Africa. One of the biggest
expedition was consisting of 28,000 crews
and 317 ships.
These voyages allowed China to open new
trade routes, developed relationships with
other countries, exchanged goods,
improved navigation. He came back with
several different goods presented to the
emperor.
Many Chinese people settled in the
countries that Zheng He visited.
Zheng He's courage, talent and leadership
had been admired by everyone, especially
Chinese people.
Without him, China would not have been
wealthy at the time because there would
not be a lot of trades with other countries.
This is a diagram of Zheng He’s ships,
compared to the normal size ships.
6. (1395-1441) Jan Van Eyck
Jan Van Eyck born in Burgundian Netherlands, around
1395. He introduced the power of oil painting to other
artist . He showed that oil made paintings look realistic
and created subtle tones of color, as such he inspired
many artists at the time.
Oil painting was a trend, basically started by Jan Van
Eyck. Then artists like Leonardo da Vinci and Antonello
da Messina painted their famous paintings by oil.
Oil Painting developed during the Renaissance's art,
produces art pieces looking more real, with more
realistic details, unlike the midevil times. I think this is
the reason why art during the Renaissance is interesting
and it has been improved from the midevil ages.
Modern artists are influenced by oil painting because it
is effective in creating life-like pictures including details.
Modern artists also use Jan Van Eyck’s techniques for
painting. The significant brushwork of oil paintings This is a painting
makes them famous, and well known as well. of Jan Van Eyck.
7. (1436 - ) PRINTING PRESS
• In 1436, Johann Gutenburg invented the
Printing Press.
• Priests had to hand write, copy bibles. It was
time consuming and tiring to write several
times.
• When the printing press was created, books and
bibles were re-printed. It helped knowledge,
education, beliefs and religion to spread around
the world. This expanded people's knowledge,
and new perspectives.
• Later, when the printing press was introduced
into Thailand, the monks would not have to
hand copy/rewrite the “Jindamanee" Thai
textbook. The printing press helped education in
Thailand by making Thai people’s learning
easier.
• The printing press is used to print out news
papers, bibles, books, magazines.
• Without the printing press, we would have to
hand write books, reports, and assessments.
• People receive news and information faster. This is a picture of printing press.
• Nowadays, we use printers which were
developed from the printing press.
8. (1452-1519) Leonardo da Vinci
Leonardo da Vinci born in 1452, in a small
town, Vinci in Italy. He is known as a
renaissance man because of his significant
inventions which formed the basic of modern
life. Leonardo was known as an engineer,
scientist, and painter.
The Parachute, allows us to explore the sky,
goes sky diving and experience flying fun.
Some air flying machines are inspired by his
design. Leonardo also created the tank,

Without him, we would not have art works that touched so many
painters and collectors, and we might not know how to fly.
9. (1480-1521) Ferdinand Magellan
• He was born in 1480 in Sabrosa, Portugal. He
served King Charles I of Spain by making an
expedition to the Spice Islands.
• At that time, everyone thought the world was
flat, some tried to convince that it was round.
Magellan was the first, by giving supporting proof
that the world was round. He was the first to sail
across the pacific ocean which shows the earth is
not flat.
• He was the first one to discover Philippines to the
western world, and later, Spain colonized
Philippines which opened trade routes for
traders.
• By his voyage across the pacific ocean, he
changed exploration and navigation of the world
and inspired many explorers to explore Asia and
other "undiscovered" countries. He expanded This is a map showing Magellan’s

countries to the map, more scientific data like
zoology, astronomy, etc.
• People could still be afraid to fall out of the earth,
if they still believed the earth was flat.
10. (1469-1526) Niccolò Machiavelli
He was born in May 1469 in Florence.
Niccolò Machiavelli was a historian,
author, philosopher. He is most well
known for his book called “The
Prince”. The book is about how to be a
good leader and have political power.
Some say, he created modern politics.
In his book, he taught powerful people
to act boldly, “make first priority to
protect your power”, “break moral and
religious principles when needed”, and
be “as strong as a lion” and “as sly as a
fox”.
I believe that he inspired other leaders
like Hitler, Polpot, Stalin and Napoleon
to follow his views on leadership. They
use his ideas/concept on how to be a
good leader. This is a portrait of
The type of leadership has shown to Machiavelli.
the world that leaders without morals
can lead the world into disaster.
11. (1503-1566) Michael de Nostradamus
Nostradamus was born in December 1503 in
France. He wrote a book called, "Les
Propheties,” The book was about future
telling he predicted. There were around 1000
predictions and already half of them
happened. He predicted the date of,
Napoleon conquering France, Hitler, Atomic
Bomb in Japan, JFK & RFK Assassinations,
9/11 etc, hundreds of years before the event
occurred.
His predictions influenced people to believe
some of his theories, such as the world
ending in 2012. Movies and book have been
created to support Nostradamus’s theories
and his life. There are several internet hoaxes
about him and the word ending in 2012.
His books are being reprinted for four
hundred years.
Nostradamus has not only predicted the
future but also has helped to cure people
with the black plague to save their lives.
This is a portrait of
Nostradamus drew by his son.
12. (1555-1605) Phra Naresuan
Born in Siam in 1555 and was the
King of Siam from 1590 until his
death. Phra Naresuan freed Siam
from the first Burma rule.
Sacrified his whole life for Siam,
he was kept captive and raised in
Burma since young age. After the
victory, he spent most of his time
in battlefield to guard Siam land
from Burma.
He is an inspirational king who has
all of the IB learner profile. Phra
Naresuan should be a role model
for Thai people. Without him,
Thailand might not have the
monarchy and might have a This is a picture of a monument of
different political system. Phra Naresuan on Elephant.
Elephants were riden by the
commanders in war times.
13. (1564-1616) William Shakespeare
Born in Warwickshire England in 1564. He is the world
most famous play writer in history. Since Shakespeare's
plays were popular, it contributed greatly to English
literature. He developed over 1700 English words which we
use in our daily lives today.
His well known plays are Romeo and Juliet, Macbeth, much
ado about nothing, Hamlet, Julius Caesar, Merchant of
Venus King Lear, The Tempest etc.
His plays are famous and meaningful. They have been
reprinted, translated to different languages and performed
all around the world.
Shakespeare’s plays are studied by students, teachers,
adults, etc. His plays have been turned into movie, operas,
ballet. In his play, Hamlet, there were many famous quotes
“to be or not to be” and it taught people the history of
Denmark’s royal family. The Lion King was inspired from
Hamlet, by using the same moral/plot, The lion King is a
famous Disney movie, which was later turned into a
play/musical.
Nowadays, people are inspired by using his techniques to
make a successful play like stage directions, drama
techniques. Also some of Shakespeare’s plots are being
used today by play writers such as Charles Dickens. This is a portrait of William
Shakespeare.
14. (1564-1642) Galileo
• Everyone in earlier days believed that the
sun evolved around the earth even the
church believed that. But Galileo made
the observation to support Coopernicus,
that the earth is not in the middle of the
universe and that the earth moves around
the sun. This gives us a better
understanding on the solar system.
Galileo discovered that Jupiter has several
moons and the our moon is not a perfect
sphere.
• His telescope made him see the different
planets like Venus and Jupiter. Later,
everyone had more information about the
other planets around earth. He also
proved that the earth is not the center of This is a painting of Galileo.
the solar system. This changed people's
perspective on earth and the solar
system.
15. (1590- ) Invention of the Microscope
• In 1590, Zacharias Janssen
invented the microscope
with his dad. In science labs,
microscopes are used as an
important tool helping in
studying of sciences.
Scientists studies micro-
organism, small particles
and human blood cells.

science come from Scientists
