  1. 10th World Studies 10.2.17 • Turn in: • 13.1 checkpoint questions • Take out: • Planner • Pen/pencil • Notes from yesterday • Today’s objective: • I can describe how the time period following the Middle Ages began to take shape and lay the foundation for a modern world. Today’s Agenda: The “ism’s” of the Renaissance HW: CRA The rest of 13.1

  2. Lives of the Most Excellent Painters, Sculptors, and Architects Giorgio Vasari,1550 *Celebration of Renaissance Artists

  3. Status of the artist—Medieval “thought” • Artists viewed as servants of the Church • Most art created for the glorification of God and the message of the Church’s teachings • (Plus, babies were just smaller versions of grown ups…)

  4. Status of the artist—The Shift • Artists viewed as “geniuses” rather than craftsmen • Genius = $$$$$ • Ghiberti earned 500 Florins/Year • Da Vinci earned 2,000 Ducats /Year (= to Florins) • Michelangelo worth ~60,000 Ducats at death

  5. “The Gates of Paradise”, 1425 "undeniably perfect in every way and must rank as the finest masterpiece ever created.” – Georgio Vasari

  6. Secularism • Concern with the material, rather than spiritual, world • NOTatheism • Secularization of the papacy • Examples: • Extravagant dress • Manners • Hygiene • Private Palaces (Medici)

  7. Quantification • Measuring the universe in visual and quantitative way • Break universe down into measurable units • Clocks • Music divided into measure in order to be “seen” and “read”

  8. Music: Measuring the universe in visual and quantitative way • Proportions—Greek mathematician Pythagoras had discussed music… • different pitches (sounds) on stringed instruments by lengthening or shortening the strings by different proportions. Octave—Renaissance musicians carried on this idea in their own music. • Mood—By studying Greek drama, they discovered the art of making their music reflect the lyrics in their songs—making music sound happy for words of joy and sorrowful for words of grief. While not a perfect match, many would point to their efforts and the birth of opera.

  9. Time • Measuring the universe in visual and quantitative way • Break universe down into measurable units • From the Egyptians, Babylonians, and Greeks • Day & Night, hours, minutes, seconds… • Ptolemy—60 parts (“minutes”= small part) of a circle • pars minutaprima & secundaminuta • Clocks • The mechanical clock allowed for common folk to consider time in a different manner… • So what?!? • What time is it?
