For this assignment, you are going to use your skills of research and imagination. Time travel has been invented, and you have the opportunity to visit any significant art historical site from the Renaissance - Baroque period. Imagine this trip and answer the following questions:
Where would you choose to go and why? (This could be a location, like Saint Peter's Basilica, or a city, like Florence, or a specific artist's studio).
Imagine what it would be like to tour this location. Include at least three images that would illustrate your journey. (Ex: front of the Sistine Chapel, the ceiling, and the altar).
Who would be your tour guide? The artist? The patron? Someone else? (Ex: If you go to Florence, maybe one of the Medicis would be your guide).
How would your tour guide introduce him/herself? (This is where some biographical research should come in handy).
Discuss each of your images: describe the subject matter (if applicable), techniques for its creation, and its significance within art history. If one of your images is architecture, what significant elements would your tour guide point out?
End your tour by explaining to your tour guide the impact that art from the Renaissance/Baroque period had on history.
