Description

Learn all about art, sculpture and architecture in Renaissance Florence!

This comprehensive information pack allows students to research, study and learn all about the art, history, sculpture and architecture of Renaissance Florence. There are also two bonus sections exploring two artist techniques buon fresco and tempera.

Artists included:

Botticelli
Donatello
Fra Angelico
Ghiberti

and many more!

This activity workbook works well as an independent project or as a lesson which explores the information in class and students take notes as you teach. It's perfect as an introduction to an important and pivotal period in art history. This resource is an ideal reading, research and comprehension exercise useful for in-class, joint and independent projects or homework.

Some of the text is quite comprehensive, so make sure your students like a challenge! I currently use it on Grades 8+ but could work also for younger students depending on the class ability.

The PowerPoint is designed to accompany the information booklet and is organized so that key works match up to information in the booklet per page, making it easy for the student to follow the lesson either virtually or in-class!

What's included?

112 page activity workbook
48 page PowerPoint with key works featured in the workbook
15 page Renaissance Glossary (with blank pages)
Separate folder with images included in both PowerPoints
