Art Notes

Mixed-Media

Throughout the course, students will study art pieces and periods, answering questions along the way. They will learn about famous painters of the time, and get to represent the artists styles in symbols that they create.

Any media can be used for the notes, as students can design them however they would like.

Art History

The Medieval Renaissance marked an important point in history for art. This time period allowed for great experimentation, and brought other elements such as math into the artistic equation. Students will learn about the great artists of the era such as Rembrandt and Velazquez and what mark they left on the landscape.
