Thematic Developments: When we think of the word renaissance immediately iconic images of Italian painters and sculptors like Michelangelo or Leonardo da Vinci come to mind, and there is nothing wrong with revisiting this period of cultural history. Although throughout time there have been many "other" artist that have contributed to other renaissances especially specific to North America. The connected theme within the three studio activities of this unit is "A Jazzy Renaissance ". Americas most successful multicultural investment came about in "New Orleans at the late 19th and early 20th centuries, with the vestiges of French and Spanish colonial roots, the resilience of African influences after the slavery era and the influx of immigrants from Europe. This unit also provides your students with a unique opportunity for in depth discussion and discovery of the artistic changes from the past to their 21st century art classroom.
