Arts and Artists: Jacob.S
In the middle ages, artists came from different ways of life as to the earlier artists who were mostly monks.The later ages saw the rise of gothic art. In the midst of all this artists broke free of the Byzantium art style. The most popular artists of the middle ages included men such as Donatello, Giotto, Leon Battista Alberti, and Cimabue. In the Middle Ages every book were handwritten works of art that were original. The oldest manuscripts to survive go back to the 5th century though the mass production of the manuscripts didnt come until about 1100. In the middle ages most books were in the use of monks and priests for literature purposes. Books that were new appeared mostly when a new monastery was founded civilization and culture were very important traits in middle age arts and artists paintings. Politics and religious houses such as monasteries were often incorporated into their paintings. Architects designed gothic buildings and artists constructed stain glass windows to depict stories because not everybody could read. Lorenzo Ghiberti was famous as a medival sculptor and painter. He also founded the renissance, an intellectual movement. The Western Empire was dominated by warring factions and their quest for conquest and power. Art, early in the middle ages was initially restricted to the production of Pietistic painting which they used in the form of illuminated manuscripts fresco paintings in churches and mosaics. The colors were usually dull. No paintings were of portraits. In the later middle ages art saw many changes. They included Brighter colors, bronze metal work, stained glass windows, use of shadows and light, sense in art, symmetry and the depiction of animals. These advances of art int the middle ages were due to changes of more liberal religious beliefs and the efforts and pioneering art. Middle ages art increased from the type of art depicted in pietistic painting. Early Middle ages art reflect the differences between the development of the catholic religion in the west and the Byzantium empire.

Art and Culture Languages
The middle ages lasted from the 5 through 15 centure. Some people talked Latin and wrote Latin. Most people in everyday life talked Vernacular though. During the 1100 s the new literature was written in vernacular. This stuff all happened during the medieval time. The lower classes sorta cheated by speaking regular english. The language during the middle ages were old french, english, latin, hebrew, greek, and arabic. All these languages were in england. The languages would change back and forth from eachother. The Latin language was used for everything and a lot of people used the latin language. The Peasents spoke english but they spoke just enough latin to go visit the church. The rich people mostly spoke French for their language. People who were in charge of the bank had to speak French because that was the language for buiseness. Also the merchants had to speak french because they had to be able to talk to the people in charge of the bank. The people back then could not read like we can now so the people tried to teach how to read more than anything.In the middle english all the words were pronounced so their werent any syllabols. That means that the words would sound different from now days because now days we have syllabols.

Middle Ages(Technology and Inventions)
A plow was one of the inventions they used in the medieval age. Clocks were one of the things they invented during the middle ages. they were used about 5000-6000 years ago and still used today. The first mechanical clocks were used in China. Liang Ling-Tsan built the first key device to put in the clocks. They also mined for iron ore to make manufacturing products, but not only did they mine iron ore, but they also were thinking about mining silver, copper, gold, and lead. ANother invention they came up with was the, “Great Spinning Wheel”. they introduced it to help for cotton spinning. peasant houses were varied by wealth, the poor people usually got a single bedroom, when the ricker people got a two-bedroom hut. There were two types of frames, the cruck frame and the truss. The cruck frame used a tree with all of the lems trimmed off but the lowest branch. The truss looked like a cruck but several trees would be nailed together.People in the middle ages used, the heavy plow, horse shoes, silk, breast strap horse harness, stirrup, horse collar, soap, iron, paper, rotary grindstone, people estimated population, used whippletrees, hops, they used the horizontal loom, artesian well, percussion drilling, tidal mills, rat raps, mirrors, windmills, spectacles, arabic numbers, hard soap, magnets, compass, wheelbarrow, cannon, blast furnaces, all of these things i listed were things the middle age people made and used during the middle ages. People used a lot of these things back in the day. I think they used the heavy plow, horse shoes, and a lot of other ones that were used the most. The heavy plow is a thing to dig up the dirt so you can plant crops, then they grow, then you eat.(:
