This website is all things medieval. The website includes medieval art, castles, games, history, knights, armor, articles, maps, blogs, and project ideas. The reason I chose this website is because it contains a lot of visuals. All of the texts that we have read so far have painted a picture in my mind about what it was like during the Medieval times and these visuals help me see what life was like during this time. I explored this website for a good amount of time and I really enjoyed look at the section called Medieval Art. Not only did this section include different books written during this time, but it also included illustrations from this time period. These art clips included knights, castle posters, sculptures, tapestries, and art books. I think it is important that we study other art forms from this era besides the text we read in class. We all have our own ideas of what the middle ages were about and this website provides a good look into how people lived during this time.
"We owe a tremendous debt of gratitude to the artists of the late middle ages and the Renaissance. They changed the way we see and think about the world. Many of the techniques, philosophies and theories that they developed are what we follow in today's world".
Here are a variety of photos from the website that will provide you with an idea of all the Medieval accessories, weapons, and artwork.
Medieval art whether literary or otherwise allows us to view the medieval world in such a unique and interesting way. Through their art we can see the things they valued, the things they believed. Thanks for sharing this website, I may need to meander over and see what else I can learn about the world in which we are studying.
