Our studies this week will cover more specifics about the realistic painting of the Renaissance artist. We will take a closer look at Leonardo, Raphael, and Michelangelo. Students will also complete a Renaissance Pocket on Thursday in class. Next week students will look at the Reformation and the counter Reformation that swept over Europe.
