Who were the artists of the Renaissance? Why do we still learn from
Renaissance art? "This is a wonderfully enticing introduction to
the Renaissance via the lives of five artists: Michelangelo, da
Vinci, Titian, Botticelli, and Raphael." - Booklist Starred Review
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 perspective of three to four major works of art that
not only defined that artist's career but also created a cultural
legacy that still resonates in the world today. Renaissance artists
were not working and living in a vacuum! Instead, their work was
informed by the cultural, historical, and political contexts of
their time. Renaissance artists were required to serve lengthy
apprenticeships in the busy studios of master artists, learning to
make brushes, grind pigments, make fresh plaster, and draw. Plus,
they had to maintain membership in guilds and keep in mind the
pleasures and opinions of the wealthy patrons who funded their art.
Being an artist involved much more than making art! Using an
inquiry-based approach to learning, each chapter of The Renaissance
Artists includes hands-on activities and open-ended assignments
that challenge readers to think critically and creatively about the
political and social forces in the time of the Renaissance and
today. Get a hands-on experience of the tools of the trade of a
Renaissance artist and draw with charcoal, make egg tempera, paint
on a ceiling (under a table lined with paper!), experiment with
linear perspective, make oil paints, try your hand at portraiture,
and more. Fun facts, primary source illustrations, and links to
online resources spark an interest in the Renaissance. Even without
a time machine, learners can experience the Renaissance The
Renaissance Artists with History Projects for Kids is one of a set
of four books in the Renaissance for Kids series. Books in the

and politicians who lived in Europe and around the world during the

design process keep even the most curious kids satisfied! Titles in
