The Renaissance was an amazing time for artists! They learned new techniques and skills that made their artwork even more beautiful. People started to admire the artists just as much as the art itself. By the end of the Renaissance, artists weren't just seen as workers; they became respected and famous. Master artists like Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci were known all over Europe. They helped create the idea of an artist as a creative genius.
Our recent art lesson was an exciting journey into the world of Renaissance architecture! We looked at beautiful churches from the Renaissance period and drew them using black chalk. This lesson was all about exposure—getting a close look at the stunning details and designs of these historic buildings.
