Renaissance Reading Notes
Hello! Today we reviewed the BIG IDEAs to be learned in the Renaissance unit including a quick review of the differences between primary and secondary sources. The class read and discussed the differences between Classical, Medieval, and Renaissance Art (28.2). Then, some classes were able to view some primary sources and determine from which time period the art came. Mr. Hogue's classes got a little further and were able to begin 28.3 and a little beyond. We will continue with reading notes tomorrow and are looking at an assessment likely Monday. Students should begin to reread the chapter in preparation.
