Original Artwork:
This week, create an original work of art using iconographic symbols that help convey your cultural values. Many works we are studying this week include iconographic symbols to communicate the specific values of the culture. Depending on the era (Early Renaissance, High Renaissance, Mannerism) or the specific geographic region (Italian Renaissance, Northern Renaissance), the artwork included certain symbols. Choose a specific era and geographic region, identifying artwork (s) to inspire you.
Compose a written description of your artwork explaining your creative process. Identify specific artwork(s) that influenced you and discuss how your artwork reflects the philosophy of the region and period we are studying this week. How did the style and culture chosen guide your choices in creating your work of art?
