art historical research museum skills development writing for museumsCoe College invites you to engage in a transformative collaboration with our "The World of Renaissance Art" course. Join us in delving into the rich tapestry of Renaissance artwork and shaping a captivating mini exhibition from a local collection.
Our immersive course explores the nuances of Renaissance artwork, offering students an opportunity to contextualize these masterpieces both historically and within contemporary viewership. This unique approach allows students to grasp the thematic essence of the Renaissance rather than confining to the conventional chronological/geographical framework.
Deliverables are negotiable and will seek to align the needs of the learners and the organization.
Some final project deliverables might include:
- Research specific artworks (prints of the Renaissance era)
- Write extended wall labels based on scholarly research and visual analysis
- Install an exhibition
