Computer Lab Assignment for Monday

Today we are going to look at many different facets of the Renaissance Era. There will be several websites that you will visit throughout the hour.

Part A

For the first part of this go to this website. You will be looking at different aspects of life during the Middle Ages. Using the different icons on the right side of the website, (such as religion, homes, clothing, etc.) I would like you to write down 2-3 facts that stood out to you for each topic (7 total). You can use PowerPoint or Word, whatever you would like.

Part B

For this part you will look at three of the most famous artists during the Renaissance: DaVinci, Michelangelo, and Raphael. Find two famous works from each person and have the following:

1. The picture/painting
2. What is it called?
3. How is it reflective of the style of art during the Renaissance Era? (This can be summed up in a sentence or two, but be specific!)

Part C

DaVinci actually enjoyed his sketches of different inventions more than he did painting. Sketching was his true passion. For this section you will take a look at this DaVinci invention website and simply do the following:

* Choosing the inventions on the left side of the website, pick 4 inventions that you read about and write a brief summary of the interesting facts that you read about. Have a picture (just take the one right off the webpage) that goes along with your explanation as well.

When you are done, here are a couple of websites you can go to:
