See a Venn Diagram of Compare/Contrasts between Judaism, Christianity & Islam prepared by a World History student this year. This diagram

The Renaissance
The Renaissance PowerPointŪ
Presentation was created some years ago and recently updated. Due to its large
size, it has been broken up into five parts (Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, & Part 5). Hopefully the music links will work; if not, please visit the Internet Renaissance Band's site for example of the period's music.
Students who have
misplaced their handouts can print another copy from the presentation by printing out the actual slides from this presentation. See Mrs. Fine if you have difficulty.
The PowerPoint Viewer is available as a feee download, if you are interested from the www.microsoft.com site.

Notes from 9/13/04
Renaissance covers 15th-16th century
- 2 Movements - Italian & Northern (know the difference between both)
- also Elizabethan Movement centered in England, but that was mostly focusing on drama with Shakespeare
- know major artists, artwork & styles (art ID on test)
- Focuses on reality (look to self for improving lot in life, not G-d) rather than
morality of Middle Ages (look to priests & G-d for moral guidance, focus on christian religion)
- Revives classical (Greek & Roman) learning - promotes reason and experience
as guides for beliefs, not religious faith
- Focuses on humans - the body is beautiful
Machiavelli
- wrote The Prince
- excerpt focuses on a Prince's finances & qualities of leadership
- "liberality" = generosity
- "niggardliness" = cheapness, miserliness
- good idea to go through vocab first, then read excerpt, then answer questions
& hand in for credit
- keep in mind that Machiavelli focuses on a Renaissance prince's need for practicality - he must appear to be free
with money, yet save for a rainy day; he must be ready to change alliances for the betterment of his people; the people must
be controlled, yet kept happy and riot free.
