Discussion: Focusing on the period and styles (520 - 531)
MANNERISM IN ITALY, identify an artist and a particular visual work that inspire you, not just visually but intellectually. You may choose an artist and work discussed in your book, but you are not limited to these options. Briefly research the background of the artist (the artist's social and cultural life, the artist's influences, etc.) and the work itself. Make sure that when you are referencing the sources of your research you properly quote, paraphrase, and provide a citation for your sources.
How does the piece you chose express the features of its style movement or period? Be sure to include your thoughts on what you feel was a primary influence for the artist in developing the piece.
