Renaissance (14th–16th Centuries)

Drawing on class discussion and study guides on the Renaissance, write essays of 500-750 words on TWO of the following topics: 1) the impact of new technologies, 2) the impact of classicism, 3) the impact of naturalism, and 4) the changing role of the artist. Each answer should discuss examples from the 14th, 15th, and 16th centuries, and you should cite an example only once across both questions, for a total of six works. Use the test to show me how much you've learned!! Use the sources in Dropbox, and cite them using MLA format. Submit both essays as a single WORD document.

Strong responses will include a paragraph that explains WHAT the subject is (e.g., define naturalism), a paragraph that explains WHY Renaissance audiences fount it meaningful in that moment.
