Term 1 Week 10 2011

Kia ora class
It's all down hill this week towards a chocolate filled Easter, only another week after this left.
For those back from camp, I trust you are well rested (and clean).
Well done to all of you on 3.3, that's your first 3 credits already.
We start 3.4 Examine a Theory, next week in time for the holidays - yehah.
Firstly, we need to check we are all happy with the facts and notes we each have on Piero della Francesca. That includes covering the Montefeltro Portraits from last week.
Please remember workbooks are due to me 11th April.

This week, lovely Leonardo da Vinci.
The ultimate example of a Renaissance Man aka polymath: poet, inventor, scientist, painter, military engineer, singer and vegetarian.
During our lessons together this week we'll be looking at the following works:
The Annunciation
Adoration of the Magi
Lady with an Ermine
Ginevra de Benci - obverse (front) and reverse ( back - duh!)
and herself Mona Lisa remember to watch the clip attached.
Then we'll be taking a close look at the famous Last Supper. Here's some great extra info.
We'll also touch on the controversial Virgin of the Rocks 1483-1486 version and the 1495-1508 version, compare the two and have the visual differences clear in your mind.
