Part of studying history is making meaning of primary sources of a particular period. Moreover, artistic expression can indeed help bring a contemporary audience closer to understanding history. One of the powerful byproduct of art is that it typically reveals a "point of view". In other words how "they" saw and understood their own world. The handout that I gave you this morning is meant to provide us with a common framework with how to look at art for historical purposes.
In the blog you will note I have some websites bookmarked on the right. Open up "Art History Resources". Open that link and scroll down the left hand column. I would like you to pick one artwork from the Italian Ren...and one from "outside the Italian Ren.". Complete the handout. Be prepared to explain both of your works to the class using the prompts on the handout tomorrow 9/9. You do not need to respond to this blog prompt as it was only meant to provide you with instructions.
Happy birthday Emily.
