History of Art | February 14th - Period 3
Autolycus stood at the front of the class rubbing his hands together. The typical sheaves of handouts at the front of the class.
"The art period known as the Renaissance was part of a greater cultural change occurring throughout Europe over a period of approximately two centuries.
"Some of the notable painters of the time were da Vinci, Raphael, Botticelli, van Eyck, Bosch and Drüher.
"Alright, for your homework this week I want one hundred words on the Renaissance artist of your choice. You have the rest of the class period to work on it and discuss with your classmates.
"Also you have a midterm coming up, so remember to go over your notes from previous classes."

Re: 100 Words - Renaissance Artists
Renaissance artists were very into painting religious scenes. Which I guess the Greeks and Romans were too, but different religion. You'd think the Biblical ones would have less random high-flying
malenudity, but you'd be surprisingly wrong. Though there's a bit more appearance of convenient drapey things in the Renaissance, a fact for which some of us are extremely grateful, depending on the gender of the painting's subject. Also, Naked Venus on the Half-Shell totally makes up for the finger-touchy God and Adam. I'm... not sure it makes up for the statue of David, though. I'm not sure anything does.
