Collage Arts Students - Day 7

Today we visited Vatican City in the morning to view the beautiful buildings surrounding the Pope's home. The city was filled with tourists from all around the world, different sizes, races, ages, sex. It was amazing to see so many different people coming together in Rome to appreciate such an exquisite city. I have never seen anything quite like it.

Prior to entering the church we saw the colossal Tuscan colonnades, four columns deep at St Peter's square. The architectural aspect was very detailed and precise. Anna took us to the points in the square where if you stood there and looked at the pillars it appeared as though the colonnades where only one column deep! 

The church was also very interesting as the whole building was built with such thought. Although I do not do photography I really did enjoy capturing such an important aspect of Italy. Below are some of the pictures I took. 






"I found the paintings and the statues to be quite beautiful works of art and I was happy to be able to capture their beauty!" - Jamel Taylor

"Vatican city is so beautiful. It really showed how well thought out and important architectural detail was such a long time ago." - Tania Asamoah

"The different elements such as the blessed feet and the holy water space really makes the church so important and appreciated." - Evelyn Ofosu
