AP European History Project: Reflections on the Renaissance
Sheridan
Your goal for this individual project is to assess the degree to which a single
work by a
particular Renaissance artist or other individual reflects the “Spirit of the
Renaissance” & all
that entails (including humanism, civic humanism, secularism, individualism, the
Christian
environment, focus on city/family, etc.). You will select/be assigned a
particular Renaissance
individual (from the list below; most are artists of one type or another, but a
few are from
other disciplines), & you will research & select a particular work from that
individual to
analyze (you may not select a work that is discussed in your textbook or any
other assigned
class materials).
This is not a biographical report; your purpose is to evaluate the extent to
which the
individual’s work reflects the ideals of the Renaissance as addressed in class &
in your text.
You will type a maximum 2-page (double-spaced) analysis, which should include a
brief
introduction which introduces the core ideals of the Renaissance as well as the
individual &
his/her work, & which incorporates a clearly worded thesis regarding the work &
its
relationship to Renaissance ideals. Body paragraphs should address the
characteristics of the
work & the degree to which they reflect Renaissance ideals, worded so as to
support your
thesis. Finish with a brief conclusion wrapping up & summarizing your argument.
You will also need to turn in a printed copy of the work selected for the artist
(if it is a longer,
written work, a brief excerpt or summary is acceptable; if a musical piece, a
title/composer/description will suffice).
