Introduction The 1400s-1700s in Europe were a time of relative political stability and prosperity. Major upheaval, however, did occur in the Church with the Protestant Reformation and Catholic Counter Reformation. Art, as always, served as a window to society. As a result there was a wide range of subjects and styles practiced by artists to meet the growing demands of new patrons both religious and secular.

Discussion Forum Beginning with the Renaissance the Church is no longer the only primary patron of the arts. Private families, governments and other secular (non-religious) groups begin to hire artists with greater frequency. What effect do you think this new diversity in patrons had on the arts in the 15th-18th centuries? Include some specific examples of works commissioned by these new patrons.

Written Assignment In an essay, discuss the shift in the role of the artist, from unknown artisans or craftsmen to public figures and a creative “geniuses,” during this time. Specifically refer to at least one work of art from each of the three major stylistic periods from this unit (Renaissance, Baroque, and Rococo), and explain how the work reflects the newly powerful role of the artist who produced it. Your essay should be a minimum of 500 words. Essays should be well-written and organized and contain an introduction and conclusion. Please proofread your work for spelling, syntax and grammatical errors. All sources used must be properly cited in a works cited list.

Learning Journal The Learning Journal is a tool for self-reflection on the learning process. In addition to completing directed tasks, you should use the Learning Journal to document your activities, record problems you may have encountered and to draft answers for Discussion Forums and Assignments. The Learning Journal should be updated regularly (on a weekly basis), as the learning journals will be assessed as part of your Final Grade. Making reference to resources listed in the Reading Assignments throughout the course, please address the following. How has the Classical tradition (the art of Greece and Rome) continued to affect art through the Renaissance, Baroque, and Rococo periods? In what ways have artists working during these periods turned away from the Classical tradition?
