Humanities - study the best that man has created

So here I am studying for my final exam in Humanities. Let me share what I've learned in studying this minor subject I have in my 4th year in IIT.

The Scope of our exam is the following topics: Baroque and Rococo, Neo-Classicism, Romanticism, Realism, Modern Art, Classifying Philippine Art and Readings in the Philippine Arts and Letters.

Baroque and Rococo happened way back in 17th and 18th centuries. What happened in this century is that there is what we call the Reformation Movement that were led by Martin Luther, John Calvin and John Knox. This Reformation Movement accused the Church of grave abuses of authority. They established a separate Protestant church. So the Church had to redeem itself together with the Council of Trent where it set policies on various subjects including Art. They made its own movement, the Counter Reformation.
