The Renaissance Do Now What effect do you think the Black Death had on the feudal system? The Black Death: Effects • food prices drop (less mouths to feed) / survivors wine and dine • peasant farmers and workers able to make more money because nobles were in need of extra hands • peasants revolt sometimes and win better conditions • nobles gradually losing power, kings gain more power Renaissance (Rebirth) Jacob Burckhardt (historian): points to Italy as the home of the Renaissance. The Renaissance removes medieval “veil” which prevented development of the individual Renaissance (Rebirth) WHY ITALY? • feudalism replaced early - castles/lords replaced by towns and cities and their rich, powerful merchants. • center of trade: surrounded by seas • serfdom breaks down early - free peasants work for wage labor - money & commerce happen in the countryside now too Renaissance (Rebirth) • Rich and powerful merchants became patrons of the arts. • Example: The Medici Family Secular People interested in here & now, less in religion or the world beyond They are still Christians, they are just upset about medieval ideas of the church Want to use ideas to solve the problems of this world. Get their ideas from ancient texts. Humanism • New interest in the classical learning of ancient Greece and Rome. • Passion for writing, poetry, history, Latin & Greek (as opposed to only studying law or the Bible) Humanism • learning is essential to creating a better, moral human being • to be active in life is important - be good in the here & now (secularism!) • individualism - emphasizing the value of each person. Individuals should pursue goals and desires. Individuals prove what they are capable of through art, science, philosophy, music, etc. Discuss What reading strategies have you used in the past? What reading strategies did you find the most helpful? What about reading still frustrates you? Active Reading 1. Who wrote the text? When? Who is the intended audience? 2. Underline / highlight key words and phrases as you read. 3. Make annotations in the margin if the reading triggers other thoughts (does it connect to something else you have learned? Do you have questions about the material?) 4. Explain what you have read to someone else. Do Now Using the reading from this weekend, complete the worksheet on secular humanism in the Renaissance. Does your underlining, highlighting, starring, and/or note-taking help you answer these questions? Discuss Think about cultural items (art / music / fashion / books / TV shows, etc.) that you like. Is it different than what your parents, or other adults, like? In what ways? Humanism & Art • What does “secular humanism” mean? • How are people depicted differently in paintings? • How did the landscape change in the background of paintings? • How did mathematical formulas help painters? • What did oil paint do for artists? Humanism & Art You and a partner will work as art historians today. Every time a work of art is displayed, talk to each other about it. Try to answer the questions provided each time. Use paper and pen if necessary… Madonna and Child in Glory (1360/65), by Jacopa di Cione tempera and gold on panel • • What do you notice above the heads? What do you observe about the size (scale) of the figures? Vocab for your notes… Scale - the size of things in relation to each other. (in the Middle Ages, bigger items were more important ones) Miraculous Mass of Martin of Tours (circa 1440), the Franconian School tempera and gold on canvas on panel • • • • What is different in the background compared to what you just saw? Does St. Martin wear a halo? How is he compared to other items in scale? There are other saints in the background of this painting. Do the surroundings look true to life? Why? Madonna and Child with St. John (1510), by Giuliano Bugiardini oil on panel • Do these figures wear halos? Are the halos different than the last two paintings? • What is the landscape around them? Heavenly or earthly? • Oil paint allows light to shine through, make the art more believable. • Does this painting look more believable than the first? Vocab for your notes Landscape - natural scenery (trees, rocks, rivers, lakes, mountains, sky, clouds) Adoration of the Shepherds (1510), by Giovanni da Lodi oil on panel • Shown are the holy family of Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus, with shepherds and an angel playing a lute. What do you think of the scale of the figures? • What makes this seem like it is done with oil paint? Adoration of the Magi (1550/60), by The Kress Monnogrammist oil on oak panel • Do the buildings in the background look true to life? Why or why not? • Paintings that represent space in a believable way have accurate perspective. • How does perspective here compare to Miraculous Mass of St. Martin of Tours? • Are there any halos? What about scale? Where is there landscape? Oil or tempera? • Can you tell who are the ordinary people and who are the saints? Vocab for your notes… Perspective (in painting) - creating the illusion of three-dimensional space in a painting or drawing. Mathematical formulas used to create depth. The Bean Eater (1582/83), Annibale Carracci oil on canvas • Can you tell if the man in this painting is a saint? • Oil or tempera? How can you tell? Homework Renaissance humanism can be found in not only visual art, but in other works as well. For tonight, complete this worksheet on Humanism in Renaissance literature. Do Now - Review last night’s homework with a neighbor - What can we learn about humanism from Renaissance writing? Politics Politics is… influencing other people within a community in an organized way (for example, with a government and laws) The State an organized community under one government examples: • China • Germany • South Africa • United Kingdom • United States Italian Politics in the Renaissance • Italy made up of independent city-states, sometimes at war with each other • factions of both nobles and non-nobles fighting each other for power within these cities / often gets violent Italy, circa 1494 • what do you think it is like to live there? Discuss “Is it better to be loved than feared, or feared than loved? A prince should perhaps wish to be both, but since that is hard to accomplish, it is much safer to be feared than loved.” - Niccolo Machiavelli, 1513 Explain what Machiavelli might mean by this… Machiavelli We will read and analyze an excerpt from The Prince together. You should be looking for… • elements of humanism • ideas on politics PRACTICAL - concerned with the work at hand. Is it useful? CYNICAL - no trust for the motives of others. Without morals or honesty MORAL - concerned with rules of conduct, and the difference between right and wrong Machiavelli Pair with a neighbor to answer the questions on the handout.

DO NOW SELF-HELP Write down 3 suggestions for yourself on how to be more active in the pursuit of learning… “Renaissance Man” Some people have become experts in several different subject areas. In the Renaissance, there were several of these great thinkers: • Leonardo da Vinci • Michelangelo Buonarotti • Galileo Galilei • Nicolaus Copernicus • Francis Bacon These people embodied the notion in the Renaissance that “a man can do all things if he will.” “Renaissance Man” Baldassare Castiglione wrote The Book of the Courtier (1528): a guidebook on how to be a Renaissance Man This person should have a detached, cool, nonchalant attitude (“sprezzatura”), and • speak well, • sing, • recite poetry • be athletic • know the humanities and classics • paint and draw • not brag!
