The Renaissance Artists

Who were the artists of the Renaissance? Why do we still learn from Renaissance art? The Renaissance Artists with History Projects for Kids introduces readers ages 10 through 15 to the Italian Renaissance as it was experienced by five of the world's most renowned artists: Sandro Botticelli, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Raphael, and Titian. Kids learn about the biographies of these Renaissance artists through the exploration of three or four major works of art that both defined that artist's career and created a lasting cultural legacy. Alongside the biographies of these men, the lives and contributions of women and non-Europeans, who have been historically marginalized and ignored, are illuminated and explored, showing readers the true diversity of the Renaissance world. Using an inquiry-based approach to learning, each chapter of The Renaissance Artists includes hands-on activities and open-ended projects that challenge readers to think critically and creatively about the cultural, political, and social forces during the time of the Renaissance and today. - Back cover.
