Renaissance Museum –Project Based Learning Background

■ The Capitol Encore Academy Renaissance Museum

just received a shipment of artworks from our

acquisitions expert in Europe.

■ Unfortunately, she didn’t label the boxes!

■ We have 12 priceless artworks, but before we can put

them on display, we have to figure out which country

they belong to. It would be pretty embarrassing, for

example, if a museum of American artifacts put a

television in the Civil War exhibit, or gave George

Washington a cell phone.

■ Our acquisitions expert did, however, send us

information about the countries of France, Germany,

Italy and the Netherlands during the Renaissance.

Using this information, we will need to match artwork

to countries. Some of our guesses might be wrong;

we’ll just have to do the best we can. Our expert said

that if she found anymore information, she’d send it

right away.

Renaissance Museum –

Project Based

Learning Mission

We will be working in four groups of curators. Each group will be responsible for choosing 3 artworks to go in their country’s museum display.

When you gather with your group, your first task will be to fill out the Renaissance Country sheet individually.

You will then use the Artwork Master Sheet to select your artifacts as a group. When groups are finished choosing artworks on their sheets, we will take turns picking artworks so that no two groups choose the same thing.

Once groups have artworks and have used the Curator Tasks sheets to decide who is working on what, you will get a sheet that describes each painting you chose.

If you find that once you see your paintings, you don’t think they are from your country, you can trade them with other groups.

Follow the directions on the sheet to crate your own work of Renaissance art.
