Art History Project
by 2A Liceo Classico Quadriennale at Madonna della Neve, Adro, Brescia
End-of-the-year online workshop carried out by the students of 2A Classico Quadriennale at Licei Madonna della Neve. "Involving, inspiring, improving": this is our motto. Visual Arts in English is the subject matter of our project. Students used and also improved their language and IT skills while collecting information on some key-works of English Romanticism and French Impressionism. Read the descriptive sheets, take a virtual tour through our gallery and watch the students’ videos.
We hope you will enjoy and appreciate what you find!
This Virtual Gallery includes an introduction to all the paintings analysed by the students during the workshop.

To create this site the students discussed and analysed a series of paintings from two major Art periods: Romanticism and Impressionism. Each of the eight groups focused on a peculiar aspect of the aforementioned periods: the Sublime and the Beautiful as theorized by Edmund Burke, and the representation of Water and City Life in a few Impressionist masterpieces.
First, the students prepared a descriptive sheet of the painting together with a biography of the artist, then they found links to other artworks presenting similarities. They finally produced interactive videos, which you can watch
