Lesson Plans: Week #8 ~
October 13 - 18
We
will complete our review of the English Gothic cathedrals, and then we
are flying off to Florence, Italy, to see the birth of the Renaissance!
There are 2 Renaissances --
Italian and Northern Renaissances
Our focus will be on the Italian Renaissance, which has 4 cultural styles:
Late Middle Ages,
Early Renaissance,
High Renaissance,
& Mannerism.
In
architecture, the scholars of the Renaissance were inspired by the
architecture or ancient Greece and ancient Rome, so buildings returned
to focusing on balance & order.
A new art evolving is painting.
What
started in Florence, Italy, moved to Rome & other Italian cities,
and this had a major impact on the Northern Renaissance artists as well.
