KEY IDEAS- HIGH RENAISSANCE (1495-1520)
  • Revitalization of the city of Rome under Pope Julius II
  • All about Roman Grandeur by producing awe inspiring artistic projects
  • Key Points: Symmetry, Balance, Ideal Proportions, Triangular compositions
  • Venetian Painters stress sensuous forms with sophisticated color combos
  • Portraits are of true likeness and personalities
  • Renaissance = Before sack of Rome
  • Mannerism = After 1527


​KEY IDEAS- MANNERISM (1520-1600)
  • Mannerist art is deliberately intellectual, asking the viewer to respond in a sophisticated way to the spatial challenges 
  • Complicated compositions, distorted figures, complex allegorical interpretations


​QUICK HISTORY
  • Renaissance means a "rebirth" suggesting that the 15th and 16th centuries marked an awakening from the "dark ages". The dark ages were actually a great time period where Europe gave rise to laws, language and economics. 
  • New rise to secularism- not a huge focus on the hereafter
  • After the Protestant Reformation in 1517, High Renaissance art was not reflective of so called perfect world. The complexities of Mannerist art better describe this period.
  • Rome was sacked in 1527 by Charles V against France, Milan, Venic, Florence, and the Papacy
  • The Council of Trent (1545-1563) or the Counter-Reformation, created a new order of priests, the Jesuits. 
  • Jesuits used art as a teaching tool and a religious statement.

Inspired by the Renaissance artists' use of portable, stretched canvases for their paintings, students will paint a mini canvas!  Optional- "glaze" or vanish your canvas, just like the masters did.
