The period was triggered by the increasing sophistication of the society, where economic growth, educational pursuits and political stability were key factors.
The limits of renaissance architecture was pushed by wealthy patrons such as Medic family of Florence, Pope Leo X and Pope Julius II
Characteristics
Building was looked upon as works of art. It followed traditions of middle ages that did not separate the structure from the decoration.
In situ construction hence harmony was given between the jointing and the architectural features.
Standardization of classic roman orders- Tuscan, Doric, Ionic, Corinthian & Composite and its reintroduction both structurally and decoratively.
An art of free expression : Architecture became to a great extent a personal art due to the fancy of individual architects, many of whom founded schools of design.
A building was regarded rather as a picture with pleasing combinations of lines and masses
Symmetry and proportion
Appearance of building less in size than in reality due to the largeness and fewness of the parts used.
Towers used sparsely, if used occur symmetrically located.
Interiors planed on roman principles.
Ashlar masonry construction
Materials are large, and carry out the Classic idea of fewness of parts .
Gable end , formed as pediments either pitched or semicircular
Vaults are of simple Roman form
The Classic columns and orders were revived and used decoratively .
The principal cornice plays an important part in the style.
Mouldings produced an effect of horizontality.
Stained glass was little used
Sgraffito – coloured plaster was applied.
Efficiency in the crafts.
Italian Renaissance - Palazzo Ricardi, St. Peters Basilica, Rome, Villa Capra, Vicenza
⦁ Italian Renaissance is divided into three periods
Early Renaissance (Early 15th century)
Includes the works of Brunelleschi & Michelozzo. The concepts of architectural orders were explored, rules were formulated & classical detail & ornamentation was adopted. Space was organized by proportional logic & its form was subject to geometry. Ex. Basilica Santa Maria del Fiore, Florence by Brunelleschi.
II. High Renaissance (Late 15th to Early 16th century)
Renaissance became an individual style in its own right
Purist or Palladian, where Roman tradition was held in high respect (represented by Andrea Palladio)
Proto-Baroque, where there was more confidence in using the acquired vocabulary freely (represented by Michelangelo)
Mannerist, where practices which had no Roman precedent were interspersed with the usual buildings. Eg: Bramante
III. Baroque Period (17th century)
Architects worked with freedom and firmly-acquired knowledge.
Gene testing examines an individual's DNA to detect genetic mutations and abnormalities. It can be performed using molecular genetic testing to detect specific DNA mutations or cytogenetic testing to examine changes in chromosomes. While gene testing provides benefits like helping to diagnose inherited diseases, it also raises issues regarding privacy, discrimination, and selective breeding. Further considerations include the high cost of testing and long wait times for results.
The document provides information about the 2010 World Cup including:
- Spain won the 2010 World Cup, their first title.
- New Zealand did not lose a game during the tournament.
- Brazil and France, who had previously won World Cups, were eliminated in the group stage.
- Thomas Muller of Germany was the leading goal scorer of the 2010 World Cup.
The document discusses a drama reflection for a performance of Peter Pan. It describes showing the students a video of Peter Pan to help them understand the story and avoid difficulties in teaching the scene. It then discusses using a nearby rope prop during the performance. It also notes a problem with one student playing Wendy having a quiet voice that needed to be made louder so the audience could understand. Research and suggestions from students were used to improve the stage design.
The document reflects on a drama workshop the author planned and held for children. They created a detailed plan to avoid wasting time and assigned character roles. They came up with the idea to make name cards with sticky paper to help quickly learn the children's names. There was an issue deciding on games to play since the author didn't know simple English games for children and describing Korean games would take too long. They also didn't know how many children would attend, making it difficult to write a script. To better understand the scene they were portraying from Peter Pan, the author watched a video of the story which helped them learn the detailed plot and characters.
1) The document discusses a drama reflection where the author learned how to supervise kids effectively by telling the kids they could play games if they practiced their performance well, which amazingly concentrated the kids.
2) The author noticed one kid looking at another group playing games more and felt kids needed short breaks for fun. They came up with an easy, interesting rope game for a break.
3) There was a problem with one kid, Justus, not always concentrating during practice, though breaks were meant to be short. The author was unsure how to handle preparing for a close performance while keeping Justus engaged.

The school musical "Grease" told the love story of Danny and Sandy. Danny struggled with his feelings for Sandy due to his behavior at first, but they ultimately end up together. The actors portraying Danny and Sandy gave strong performances that conveyed their characters' emotions well through their voices and movements. Symbols like the Pink Ladies' pink jackets and Kenickie's red sports car helped viewers understand the characters. The musical effectively used lighting, costumes, music and props to enhance the story and atmosphere.
The document provides a review of the musical "Grease" as performed by BISS. It summarizes the use of symbols, lighting, costumes, and characters in the performance. Pink jackets worn by the Pink Ladies symbolized their role as bullies, while Danny's red sports car symbolized his popularity. Spotlights and colored gels were used effectively to draw attention and set moods. Costumes helped develop characters, with leather jackets and jeans for Danny's gang and a white and pink outfit representing Sandy's purity. The main characters of Danny and Sandy have a love story, though Danny struggles initially due communication issues.
The document provides a review of the musical "Grease" as performed by BISS. It summarizes the use of symbols, lighting, costumes, and characters in the performance. Pink jackets worn by the Pink Ladies symbolized their role as bullies. Danny and his friends' black leather jackets and red sports car established them as cool and popular. Spotlights and colored gels were used effectively to draw attention and set moods. Costumes helped develop characters, with Danny and his friends dressed in a 1950s greaser style and Sandy in a plain outfit reflecting her naivete. The main characters of Danny and Sandy have a love story as Danny works to win Sandy back after an initial misunderstanding.
This document discusses the influence of masks on commedia dell'arte performances and actors. It describes two common mask types: Arlecchino and The Zanni. It also mentions Antonio Fava, an influential commedia dell'arte actor. Images and their sources are provided at the end.
Commedia dell'Arte was an Italian theater tradition that used masks to help identify stock characters. The masks took on symbolic meanings that aided actors in portraying characteristics of roles like Arlecchino, Pantalone, and Zanni. The leather masks were made through an intricate process including molding, carving, and coloring. The masks exaggerated features of characters and allowed actors to express personalities more effectively, bringing additional enjoyment to audiences.
The policy of distinguishing people based on their political background during the Chinese Cultural Revolution greatly impacted the young girl Ji Li in several ways. She was separated from her father when he was taken away and imprisoned. Ji Li also experienced humiliation and trauma when the Red Guards searched her home and exposed her private life. Additionally, Ji Li was denied entrance to the best junior high school in Shanghai due to her family's poor political status, despite her good academic record, destroying her dreams and future opportunities. The essay argues that judging and treating children differently based on their parents' politics is unfair and can have long-lasting negative effects.

During the Chinese Cultural Revolution, those with "bad" family backgrounds such as former capitalists, landlords, rightists, and intellectuals faced cruel treatment from Red Guards such as having their houses searched and being publicly accused and subject to violence. Many intellectuals were exiled to the countryside as punishment. In contrast, those with "good" family backgrounds such as martyrs and revolutionary leaders' families were treated better and given benefits in their education. Red Guards arrested many people and were actively involved in political life at the time.

4. CITY-
STATES IN
FLORENCE
Florence in Italy is the location where
the Italian Renaissance begins. This city is
ruled by effective leaders, Medici family.
They use funds to build roads and sewers,
and donate money to help support the
development of the arts in their city. The
result is that Florence becomes one of the
wealthiest cities in all of Western Europe.
Architecture of
San Lorenzo is in Florence, Italy.
Church: San Lorenzo It is created by Filippo Brunelleschi in
1421 to 1440. Its construction system
is bearing mansonry. Ringed by
windows at its base, the dome is
partitioned by ribs into twelve webs,

Famous people
Renaissance architecture.
Medici Family
The Medici Family are wealthy family in
Florence during Renaissance period.
They are avid supporters of the
humanities. They donate money to help
support the development of the arts in
their city.
5. CITY-
STATES IN
ROME
Many of the Renaissance popes who rule
the city of Rome use tax money to hire
artists and sculptors to create art pieces
for filling the new buildings. They also
amass a massive collection of literary
works and they store in an attractive
library. The consequence of the efforts of
the popes , Rome becomes the center of
the Italian Renaissance.
Architecture of Rome
Palazzo Massimo
Palazzo Massimo is in Rome, Italy.
It is created by Baldassare Peruzzi in
1527 to 1536. Its construction
system is cut stone bearing masonry.
The unusual convex facade of the
Palazzo Massimo stands on the
foundations of an old Roman theater
and curves along the old Papal Way.
6. CITY-
STATES IN
VENICE
The location of Venice which is near in
the Mediterranean Sea makes Venice ideal
for trade. Many in Venice grow wealthy,
which allow artists to afford the finer
pleasures of art and the humanities.
Venice quickly becomes world famous for
the high quality of art and literature.
Architecture of Venice
Church: San Giorgio Maggiore
San Giorgio Maggiore is in Venice, Italy.
It is created by Andrea Palladio in 1560
to 1580. Its construction system is
bearing masonry. The church's facade is
scaled to present a public face to the
town of Venice. It dominates and partially
obscures the brick body of the church
behind it, while it reflects the interior
space of the nave and its side chapels.
Transportation of
The gondola is a traditional, flat-bottomed
Venetian rowing boat. For centuries
gondolas are once the chief means of
transportation and most common
watercraft within Venice. The gondola is
never poled as the waters of Venice are too
deep. Gondolas often were fitted with a
"felze," a small open cabin, to protect the
passengers from sun or rain.
7. HOW TO GET
AROUND?
Getting around by land
For most italian during the Renaissance traveling by land is limited
to the local fair or farmer’s market. Getting from point A to point B
by land during the Renaissance is not easy. Roads are little more
than rocky pathways, and could be dangerous, with bandits waiting
to pounce on unsuspecting travelers. The very wealthy travels with
dozens of men-at-arms for protection for this reason.
Common vehicles for traveling on land during the Renaissance
include horses, pack mules, wagons and for the wealthy, coaches.
The most common way to get around on land is on foot. And it was
usually the most efficient.
Getting around by water
Merchants, missionaries, soldiers, students and pilgrims are the
most likely to use sea travel during the Renaissance. As trade and
exploration increase during the Renaissance, overseas travel became
more popular. Though you can travel to distant lands by ship, it is
not without serious dangers.
In many parts of Western Europe, water travel was also popular for
short distances. Rivers, canals and lakes offered much quicker travel
time than by land. However, river travel was not always reliable. In
dry times water levels could drop too low for barges or boats.

IN RENAISSANCE
RENAISSANCE TABLE MANNERS
Through the 1400s, food was served in a long trencher.
Wealthy households would have some type of metal trencher.
The very poor may have substituted a hollowed out loaf of
bread in place of wooden trencher. Through the mid 1500s,
the trencher slowly disappeared, and individual plates and
forks were introduced to diners.
A few rules of etiquette that were expected of diners
including:
*No dipping meat directly into the salt dish.
*No picking ones teeth with a finger or knife.
*No spitting across the table.
RENAISSANCE WEDDING CUSTOMS
Laws relating to Marriage
Marriage laws began to evolve during the Renaissance. The
Council of Westminster decreed in 1076 that no man should
give his daughter or female relative to anyone without priestly
blessing. Later councils would decree that marriage should
not be secret but held in the open. But it wasn't until the 16th
century Council of Trent that decreed a priest was required to
perform the betrothal ceremony.
Marriage Customs
Grooms, on the average, were 14 years older than their
brides. Noble women sometimes didn't marry until the age of
24, but this was rare. More than 3/4 were married before they
reached 19.
11. HOW TO STAY
SAFE AND HEALTHY
z THE BLACK DEATH- The plague z
The Bubonic plague is a disease that was most prevalent during the Renaissance
and the extreme number of people die of the bubonic plague.
There is no known treatment for the plague all the people could do was suffer until
they die because that was most likely your fate.
The plague is most commonly caused by the bite of a flea. The fleas are
carried over on rats that are coming from Asia on ships and being let into Europe
when the ship docked.
You can also get the plague from being in such close contact with the people
infected with the plague. If the infected person cough he or she would blow the
bacteria into the air and you become infected through breathing in.
12. ART & ARCHITECTURE
IN RENAISSANCE
The Renaissance is best known for its
achievements in art. During the
Renaissance, the atmosphere in society
in general was shifting and became more
accepting of artistic innovation and
experimentation. Innovations from
artists were encouraged, in addition to
encouraging artists to continue placing
value in the classical art.
The Last Supper by Leonardo da Vinci
Classically-styled columns, Santa Maria del Fiore
geometrically-perfect designs,
and hemispherical domes
characterized Renaissance
architecture.
The great exponent of
Renaissance architecture was
Inigo Jones (1573–1652). His
works and symmetry were
revolutionary in a country
enamoured with mullion
windows, crenelations and
turrets.
Important buildings
constructed in this period are:
Santa Maria del Fiore and
Palazzo del Te
