”THE GOLDEN AGE OF THE RENASSAINCE”

Monday, January 13 - Monday, March 3, 2025
TIME: 3 - 6 PM

The Renaissance "Rebirth" Period - Renaissance is a French word meaning “rebirth.” It refers to a period in European civilization that was marked by a revival of Classical learning and wisdom. Children will learn about the European cultural movement covering the 15th and 16th centuries, that marked the transition from the Middle Ages to modernity.
Medival Astronomy - During the renaissance period, astronomy began to undergo a revolution in thought known as the Copernican Revolution, which gets the name from the astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus. He proposed a heliocentric system, in which the planets revolved around the Sun and not the Earth. Children will be introduced to space, the discover of planets, the contributions of Galileo Galilei, Johannes Kepler, and Isaac Newton, and the constellations.
Court Dancing, Fencing, Archery & Juggling - During the Renaissance, sports became a subject of intellectual analysis and were incorporated into the educational curriculum. Books were written about the medical benefits of sports and how to play them. Sports became a symbol of the mind's control over the body, and some sports were more about decorum than exercise.
Italian Renaissance Art - The Italian Renaissance was the 'rebirth' of Classical values in art that influenced artistic thought for the next five hundred years. The Key Elements that formed the art of the Italian Renaissance were Naturalism, Classical Humanism, perspective drawing and the development of oil painting.
