Due date: 04.29.11 Culminating Activity – ARTS - ARCHiTECTURE - LITERATURE NEWSPAPER © Popita & Kids Inc. Elements or Themes to be included– HOW DO… INTRODUCTORY (1) - Define the term “Renaissance”(“R”), underline how it revolutionized the remaking of nearly all society’s institutions: political, social, economic, educational, and family; - Make connections to antiquity – how “R” became a time when leading thinkers or scholars (Petrarch, Boccaccio), revisited the “great ideas” of ancient Greece and Rome, and studies the classics of the humanities (art, literature, architecture, etc.) They were humanists, and their concern with these ideas was called humanism)…started in the 1300s. - Mention how these humanists found new ways to apply these ideas to recreate the spirit of classical learning in arts, literature, and architecture. IN DEPTH (2,3,4,5,6) ~ (1400s-1500s) …one of the hallmarks of the “R” was the shift in the way people looked at the world, its ideals and values; the developments of a variety of skills and talents; …the rise of an “artistic” movement changed the way in which artists (painters, sculptors), builders and writers depicted humans beings and the world around them; …trade, the flow of money, and the new excitement about human potential stimulated great artistic and intellectual achievements across the European continent. Weave these ideas into the main “R” themes that the humanists encouraged: strong commitment to public service, the concept of patronage – wealthy leading families or patrons (de Medici, in Florence) spent their own money on public buildings and sponsored artists and writers – so that all the citizens of the community could enjoy artistic, architectural, and literary works; secularism – nonreligious subjects (themes), the focus was more on life on earth rather than the afterlife to come; individualism/individual worth – improving oneself through study and reflection, sign individual work, seek personal acclaim; realism (showing people and nature as they really were); all artists aimed to create works that were truly novel, in order to gain the support of the patrons (competition); architects used simple geometric forms (square, circle) in combination with mathematical principles to incorporate linear perspective (Romanstyle dome - Brunelleschi) thematic gardens as an architectural achievement: engineering knowledge, water-hydraulics know-how, mazes etc.; the chateau (French castle); painters strove for proportions, correct sizes, feeling of movement and life (da Vinci, Botticelli, Raphael), first to use oils and details (Van Eyck); satirical themes (Broegel); sculptors made intensive studies of human anatomy for lifelike representations (Michelangelo); literature – writers adapted a new classical style: pretending characters (Cervantes); invention of the essay and the writing from the point of view (Montagne); theme of simple life – its worldly, inexpensive, transient pleasures (C. Marlowe , W. Raleigh); Elizabethan Drama and W. Shakespeare – theme of idealism (sonnets) and real, universal emotions (love, greed, ambition), real people with real virtues and flaws; experimentation of new ideas, styles, materials: Johann Gutenberg’s new printing method (movable metal type) - translation of Bible into vernacular (lay, common language); CONCLUSIVE (7) – discuss the everlasting effects of the “R” ideas on mankind. What is the lesson we’ve learned ?! Does the Renaissance era reflect in the modern world today? RESOURCES © Popita & Kids Inc.
