The professors have the students read the text in the book, but the text in the book may not stay with them but the visuals can be in their heads forever.

This painting conveys Martin Luther and his followers using a big quill to write their request for religious reform on the door of the church. These demands posted on the door was the Ninety-five Theses of 1517, this sparked the beginning of the Protestant Reformation. The artist created this artwork to show Luther and his supporters hanging up the demands that the people at this period had for the Roman Catholic church and what that day looked like during the making of the Ninety-five Theses.
