This will be the last homework assignment of the semester! Congratulations on nearing the halfway point. I hope the class has taught you valuable information about our western culture and caused you to think more deeply about our present and future. This week we will continue our study of the Renaissance, specifically focusing on the tremendous art work that was created. I would like you to begin by reading an overview of the period found at the link http://www.learner.org/interactives/renaissance/ and comparing the Renaissance period to today. How are we different? How are we alike?
Then look at the artwork found at http://history.hanover.edu/courses/art/111ren.html . Select a single piece of artwork that appeals to you and introduce it in your essay. Who was the artist and when was the work created? Where was the work created/where is it today (if it is mobile)? Why does this particular piece appeal to you?
The requirements for this assignment are exactly the same as those for all preceding assignments. God bless!
