Some day, we will be remembered.

Today we went on a walk up to the San Miniato Church. You can see all of Florence from up there. Its absolutely breathtaking. It goes on for forever! Like Lake Ontario.

We got to go inside the church too. I had to wear a shawl because my bare shoulders were offensive. Understandable.  The frescos inside were incredible. There were unfinished paintings. It was so cool to see the process. It made me think, why dont we build churches like this any more? Why isnt great art and architecture used in churches to glorify God like this anymore? Ive been reading this book Tony Pisani gave me about art for the glory of God. Its so sad that Christians aren't making great art. I will try to!

Ive been taking walks around by myself and discovering cool things. Lots of little art galleries. This is truly the city of art.  There are paintings everywhere. And sculptures. Frikin amazing marble and stone sculptures everywhere. I'm so excited to be studying art here. I just want to soak it all in.  Classes start tomorrow! Tomorrow I have Florence Sketchbook, Tuesday is Italian, Wednesday is FASHION PHOTOGRAPHY!!!! Thursday is italian and mixed media. and I have Fridays off. I cant wait to have projects to do.
