Students have been analyzing Renaissance paintings for the last few days. All students analyzed 7 paintings using what I call the S.I.T.T. method. Students (or pairs of students) were then assigned a specific artist to research. The powerpoint document they create will be due tomorrow (June 7). Students do not need to actually present their findings, but if they opt to skip presenting the highest grade they can get on this assignment is a "C."
The last packet of the year will be due on Tuesday, June 12. Here is a list so far:
1. Europe in Transition illustrations
2. Renaissance Europe Map
3. Da Vinci's World I
4. Da Vinci's World II
5. Florence: Cradle of the Renaissance
6. Florence: Cradle of Renaissance Reading
7. Themes of Ren. Art fill-ins
8. Art of the Renaissance (2 pages of analysis of Renaissance art)
9. Renaissance Art : S.I.T.T. method
10. Project Presentation Steps
over the next few days we'll be disussing the Reformation and will likely add to this packet.
