*The question has to do with how is this painting reflective of the Renaissance Era. In the first two paragraphs you will give an overview as to what the Renaissance was and how life was changing for the better
*In paragraphs three and four you will discuss how this painting is reflective of the Renaissance art and era. Talk about the statues in the background (probably made with the help of patrons), the depth of the painting (perspective) and all the movements that are happening in the painting.
*Discuss how the people on the bottom left are studying mathematics (the book) and the people on the right side (holding the globe) are studying astronomy (SECULAR SOCIETY, WORRYING ABOUT THE HERE AND NOW!!!). Discuss the movements and how they are reflective of a 'thinking society' that is concerned about the here and now
*Summarize with a concluding paragraph
*Your assignment is a practice essay, with 5 paragraphs just like we talked about.
