A Rebirth of Learning: Renaissance Review

After a few storm preparations of my own, I'm finally posting the review for next Tuesday's exam. This list of terms is NOT exhaustive, therefore you should review all materials from the Renaissance unit. As for the Renaissance art we discussed, visit Mark Harden's "Artchive" to review all relevant artists.

Take care, be safe, stay dry and hope to see you on Monday.
