Project #13

                    For our lesson plan for 9th grade World History students, we wanted to introduce the students to the wonders of Renaissance art and art history! This will help them to identify main differences between modern art and other eras to Renaissance art, and hopefully help them gain an appreciation for the art themselves. Students will first be divided into at least five groups of four and will be assigned to a Renaissance artist, in which they will make and present a Power Point presentation and explain the artist's life and accomplishment.
                  In the second part of the project, they will start the "Michaelangelo Project". This is a fun activity to do at the end that will simulate what Michelangelo did when he painted the Sistine Chapel. The students will tape paper under their desks, lay on mats, and recreate one of his famous works of art in the Sistine Chapel. Since this is not an art class, and it serves as the fun aspect of the project, the students won't be graded on their art skills, but rather on their participation and effort.
