Write an essay (2.5 pages; Times New Roman; 12-point; double-spaced) where you analyze one of their paintings or sculptures, as if you are a time traveler temporarily living in the artist’s contemporary period.

The school of Renaissance

Step 1: Select a Renaissance or Baroque artist we have studied this semester

Step 2: Write an essay (2.5 pages; Times New Roman; 12-point; double-spaced) where you analyze one of their paintings or sculptures, as if you are a time traveler temporarily living in the artist’s contemporary period.

Creative aspect: Feel free to create an intriguing narrator. However, your essay must focus on the analysis of the artist’s painting or sculpture.

 

Your analysis: You have to explain/discuss why the individual is considered a Renaissance or Baroque artist. Show how the artist’s painting or sculpture exemplifies the period.

For example, if you’re analyzing Leonardo da Vinci’s The Mona Lisa, you have to explain why this particular painting is a good example of Renaissance art, what is Leonardo trying to communicate through the painting, and what is the Mona Lisa’s significance.

Discuss the techniques that Leonardo da Vinci used to paint this famous portrait. Be  super specific in your discussion/analysis.
