Trace the evolution and development of art through the periods of the Early Renaissance to the High Renaissance. Explain what primarily distinguishes Renaissance art in general from the prior period. Compare and contrast the work of an Italian Renaissance artist with a work done by a northern European Renaissance artist. Include a discussion of the different concerns and heritages of the Italian and Northern Renaissance artists and how these resulted in different characteristics in the art work of each region. Be sure to use the new art vocabulary you are learning as you describe the art works.
