Renaissance Ball Project Reflection

Name: Bailey Galloway Project Reflection: Post on your Blog Project Title: Renaissance Ball Project Class: B Dates: *You may type directly in this document and copy and paste into blog, or simply address each of the following in a post. It should be approx. 2 pages worth of writing. PURPOSE: In this section, explain what you were supposed to learn and what you were supposed to do. Sentence Starters The purpose of this project was to learn about… In order to learn about _________________, we had to create/perform/ write/etc… In order to learn about the Renaissance, we had to first take notes on PowerPoint slides that my teacher showed to the class which included information on The Black Death, Trade and Commerce Change in Town Life, The growth of Italian Cit- States, and the Spirit of the Renaissance. Then we did an activity that taught the class how the population of cities in Europe got larger and also we got to see a little bit of how the map of Europe was different in the Renaissance then in times now. So we kind of got to compare and contrast the map of Europe from the Renaissance times to now. Next we did a tour threw Florence and what that was is we had different stations and each station we would explore the art, architectural features, and also the writing of famous people that lived in Florence during the Renaissance. WHAT I LEARNED In this section, tell what information or skills you learned or improved. Sentence Starters I learned about… I explored the concepts/topics of … In this project, I learned how to…. (skills) I was Masaccio and what I learned was that he was one of the first artists to really mater perspective. That means that he would make his pictures 3d and really pop off of the page. See in Medieval times the pictures were mainly for religion and weren’t really pleasurable to the viewer’s eye. What Masaccio did was he took the ideas that the Donatello and Brunelleschi had and mixed it with his own to make this whole new style of art. He learned how to use lighting, mathematical laws of perspective, and vanishing points for his art and with the right combination of all of these things it would create a 3d picture. REFLECTION In this section, reflect on your experience. Did you like the project? Why or why not? How did you do? What would you do differently next time? Sentence Starters I enjoyed this project because… I feel like I could have done better on this project because… Next time, I would… I liked this project because I felt that it wasn’t very stressful and a lot of it was part of how you managed your time in class. I also like being able to not be your self for about and hour or two and actually teach people about your character. Next time I would have picked a different person that I was actually interested in learning about instead of just putting that I really care. I also would have put more time into getting the costume because I got minus an easy two points that I could have got. The last thing is that I would have took more time on that map thing because I got a very bad grade on it when if I would have taken my time I would have had all the points on that. ARTIFACTS You should have at least one artifact from each project on your DP. What document, picture, or link will you have for this project? I could put a link to my biography.
