I hope you enjoy it.

The following week you will have to do some sort of Kahoot or Google Forms test about Renaissance in Italy (architecture, sculpture and painting in Italy). Please email me with any questions you may have.

I also want to let you know about the new assessment criteria for Geography and History.


1. Here you are an explanation about point 8 of your book. You have already worked in an introduction in the past week. The Renaissance in Italy and architecture.

It is very important that you take a look at the pictures and legends I publish here. They will help you understand what you are hearing.

Take notes while you listen to the audio (don´t be lazy and listen to it as many times as necessary)

Do activity 11: already published in unit 1 and send it to me before Friday 1 May

You need to know and learn the concepts and names and periods of works of art published here.

Linear perspective. 
Method used to create the sense of depth by making lines converge in the vanishing point.

Vitruvian man. Leonardo da Vinci. Human proportions are used to make things beautiful and harmonious.

The ideal proportions of a human figure: the height of a person equals the measure of 8 heads.

5. Here you are an explanation about point 8.2 Architecture and its periods.

Between 1420-1426 Brunelleschi added the huge dome (cúpula) to the gothic cathedral of Florence.  Quattrocento (15th c.)

Rucellai Palace by Alberti. Quatrocento (15th c.) Doric, Ionic and Corinthian pilasters are used in different floors. It aims beauty by bringing a harmonious and proportionate structure.

These are the architectural orders followed by the ancient Greeks. They are going to be an inspiration for Renaissance architects. Doric, Ionic, Corinthian. Greeks used them separately but Renaissance architects are going to incorporate the three of them to the same building in different floors.

The human proportions are used to design the height of each floor of the Palazzo Rucellai. Round drawings on the right represent a human head.

San Pietro in Montorio by Bramante, Cinquecento (16th c.) It has a circular and centralised plan and Doric columns. It also holds a dome.
