FORMS.
 EXPLORE THE LIVES AND WORKS OF KEY ARTISTS
OF THE MANNERIST STYLE.
 RECOGNIZE THE ARTISTIC ELEMENTS OF
MANNERIST PAINTING, SCULPTURE, AND
ARCHITECTURE.

 COMPARE AND CONTRAST MANNERIST PAINTING
WITH THAT OF THE HIGH RENAISSANCE
 IDENTIFY MAJOR MANNERIST ARTISTS, THEIR
STYLES AND MAJOR WORKS
