The Renaissance Artist Webquest

Introduction - The Renaissance (~CE 1350 - 1600) was an era of artistic and scientific achievement. European artists, politicians, and scientists laid the foundations of the Modern world

Instructions - Using the websites below, complete the webquest guide for each of the three famous Renaissance artists below. You may only need one website! I have arranged the sites in increasing difficulty. The easiest to read sites are first, the sites with the most info are last.

Procedure
(1) Review the guiding questions for one of the artists
(2) Investigate a source from the webquest
(3) Attempt to answer as many/much of the guiding questions as you can
(4) Repeat 1-3 until all sources have been reviewed
(5) Bring your sheet to Mr. Cote for review
(6) Move on to the next artist and begin again at step 1

STAY ON THE WEBQUEST! You don't have time to wander around in the Internet - there is TONS of info on each of these peeps and you will get distracted, no doubt! Much of that data is inaccurate. I selected these sites for a reason, and each will help you complete your research quickly.
