difference between Medieval Art and Art of the Renaissance

The Renaissance Man and Woman

Renaissance writers introduced the idea that all educated people were expected to create art. In fact, the ideal individual strove to master almost

every area of study.

Can you best Leonardo?• Da Vinci was a well know

artist creating numerous works of art and sculpture

• One his most famous and largest works was for…the church, the Sistine Chapel

• So we will work as Leonardo did for the chapel and the question is, Can you best Leonardo?

Renaissance

• Renaissance education was intended to prepare men for public service, not for the church

• Study of texts led to intellectual movements

• Some even began to be critical of the church for not encouraging people to live a life that was moral and ethical

Renaissance

• Renaissance thinkers and writers also began to explore ideas about political power and the role of government

• The Greek and Roman ideas about democracy were very different that what they had been experiencing

Renaissance

• Also the exploration west to uncharted seas

• And crating new empires in the Americas

• Chances of huge fortunes by taking risks!

Reformation• The spirit of questioning during

the Renaissance came to full bloom in the Reformation

• The Reformation was a religious movement to reform the Catholic church

• Those who wanted to reform the church became known as, Protestants

• Because they protested against the power and abuses of the church

Martin Luther 95 Thesis• In 1517 Luther posts his 95

Theses to the church door • He makes 3 key points• 1. Selling indulgences to

finance the building of St. Peter's is wrong.

• 2. The pope has no power over Purgatory.

• 3. Buying indulgences gives people a false sense of security and endangers their salvation.

Reformation• So what began as a new movement,

became a new religion, Protestantism

• Encouraged people to make their own religious judgments

• Established new churches

Reformation• The reformation all began in

Germany with a monk and a teacher named, Martin Luther

• Luther criticized the Church’s practice of selling pardons for sins

• He began to proclaim that you could only be saved through faith in God…not your church

Reformation

Catholics• Church interprets

the bible• Salvation through

Church

Protestants • You interpret the

bible• Salvation was a

personal belief and relationship with god

Reformation

• By Challenging the authority of the monarchs and popes, the Reformation indirectly contributes to democracy

• Also by asking people read and interprit the Bible for themselves, it exposed people to more ideas through reading

• Both the Renaissance and the Reformation place emphasis on the INDIVIDUAL

• This grows into ideas for liberty

Roosevelt 95 Theses• People today feel that our culture has changed,

some for the good, but also that we have lost some of our guiding values

• Read the passages from Luther’s 95 Theses and answer the questions on a separate sheet of paper.

• When you are finished, I want you to see if you can come up with your own these about our school

• Create a list of 10 rules of conduct for the school. – Think about how people should act in the halls, in

class, to each other, how people should treat each other, things that should or shouldn’t be allowed.
