How does art mirror society?

Select a Renaissance piece of art, reflect on its content and write a paragraph that discusses how it ‘tells the story’ of what was happening at that time.

Your paragraph needs to include:
• An introduction to your selected piece of art – its title, artist, date of creation and type of art (eg; oil on canvas, marble sculpture).
• A claim that states how this piece of art is a reflection of what was happening during the Renaissance.
• Evidence from the piece of art that supports your claim.
• Your interpretation of this evidence – what does the evidence tell you about life then and what connections can you draw to other areas of change and development during the Renaissance.
• A concluding sentence.

Your Blog post needs to include:
• A title.
• An image of your selected piece of art.
• Your paragraph – edited and of publication standard.
