Renaissance Poster
Hello again! We’ve been studying the renaissance in class for the past few weeks and we were assigned a project where we had to make a poster that answers this question: How did the Renaissance influence the Western Worldview? I made my project on my iPad using different apps to create the final version.
Before we started the poster, we had to research 3 different people from the Renaissance. We researched a thinker, artist, and scientist. My thinker was Pietro Summonte, my artist was Gentile Bellini, and my scientist was Jean Baptiste Deneys. For this assignment, we were told to make a triple Venn diagram about these 3 people comparing what they had in common during their life, their beliefs, traditions, etc.
Using the information from the Venn diagram we had to make a poster comparing today to the Renaissance. In my poster, I compared gender equality and I showed that in the Renaissance women were inferior to men because all three of the people I was researching were all male. The next thing I showed in my poster was that all of my people worked for a group. For example, Gentile Bellini was the official portrait artist for the Doges of Venice. Jean Baptiste was the official physician of King Louis XIV. (14) I think that it means that politics were a lot different back then and that people might not have had as much freedom as we do today.
Here’s a picture of my poster. I had made a few drafts so I decided to include both to show the progress and compare how the first draft was different from the last one.
And now, some Renaissance puns
How am I supposed to breathe… With no heir?
Who invented Arthur’s round table? Sir Cumference!
I’m afraid that’s all for today. See you in the next post!
