Flex Project: Living Art Museum
Living Art Museum
Throughout this year we are going to make different art
projects to add to our living museum. These art projects will be
based on the topic of Worldview and Renaissance. The projects
can be in any form of media. Drawing, painting, sculpture,
fabric, media, beadwork, photography, film, newspaper, graffiti
etc.
General Outcome:

What was the Renaissance?
2. How did the Renaissance spark the growth and exchange of ideas and knowledge across
Europe (i.e., astronomy, mathematics, science, politics, religion, arts)
3. In what ways did thinkers and philosophers influence society in the development of a
humanist worldview during the Renaissance?
4. In what ways were the Age of Discovery and the rise of imperialism expressions of an
expansionist worldview?
5. In what ways did exploration and intercultural contact during the Renaissance affect the
citizenship and identity of Europeans?
What do I need to do? Choose 1 of the following
