8th Grade: Painting Songs Activity

Hello 8th graders:

I hope you enjoyed the Art Galley activity as much as I did!















For today and Monday's assignment I want you to do research on one famous Renaissance painting. Please don't choose one that we looked at in class. Fine another that catches your interest.

Here are a few websites that you can look through to find a painting:
http://www.myartprints.com/a/top-renaissance-paintings.html
http://www.arthistory-famousartists-paintings.com/RenaissanceArt.html
You can also do a Google images search, but be careful, because not all the art that shows up is ACTUALLY from the Renaissance, and not a modern painting done in Renaissance style.

Also, please remember that Renaissance artists wanted to promote beauty in nature, as well as the human form, and some artists painted nude or semi-nude subjects. Please be respectful and mature if you come across or decide to do research on a painting in this genre.

Enjoy!
KF
