Sample student DBQs Renaissance Art DBQ Dft #3

The Renaissance was the renewal of all things creative from the Classical era of Greece and Rome. During this era, human values like flaws, independent thought, and the ability to create were celebrated. The Renaissance allowed for many ideas and different focuses, but two very important values were advancements in technology and improvements in art. These improvements ultimately led to future generations being able to grow and develop new and better ideas. Generations after the Renaissance have benefited from the discoveries of the time, and can now lead lives knowing more about the natural world and being able to use that knowledge to create realistic and proportioned works of art and life improving technology. Evidence of technological advancement is found in Document 2: Galileo’s Telescope. Galileo’s telescope not allowed for further study in astronomy but also showed the way people started wanting answers. Men and women were no longer satisfied with what they were told and began to look for answers themselves. Galileo built this telescope and helped learn more about what was in the sky. His discoveries led to more knowledge and supported the heliocentric theory. The thought of the planets moving around the sun had been unheard of before this time and showed the beginning of revolutionary thinking in science as well as within society. Inventions like the telescope helped Galileo during his time; if only he knew that the work of he and his fellow inventors are still used today as outlines and inspiration for modern machines. This brings me to document 4: The Sketch of a Flying Machine by Leonardo da Vinci. This sketch has inspired the modern helicopter. The spinning blades that propel the machine upward in the sketch are similar to those in the helicopter. This shows how over time we have improved based on the innovations of our predecessors. But Leonardo da Vinci wasn’t just an inventor, he was also an artist. To create the realism he achieved in his art work, da Vinci studied the human body and furthered the study of anatomy. His sketches of real human anatomy helped create realism in other artists’ work as well as his own. Document 6: Michelangelo’s “David” is a plethora of realism, proportion, knowledge and artist talent. The 13 foot tall statue of the biblical character David is nude, well built, muscular and heroic. To achieve such proportion, Michelangelo must have studied the human body well. Therefore, I believe the advancements in both better art and more knowledge of the natural world are closely linked. Document 7: The Church of San Lorenzo designed by Brunelleschi is another example of art that is improved with the use of new ideas. A dome, that would still be considered an architectural feat for many constructors today, stands at the roof of the church. On the inside, symmetry gives the church a simple but elegant look. The church uses balance, perspective, mathematical ratios and proportion. The design of the church portrays these Greek and Roman values of harmony and simple beauty. Without the advances of the renaissance along with the rebirth of the long forgotten values of the

Greek and Roman Empire, the building of this would have never happened. The two advances of new technology and art are crucial points from the Renaissance that not only improved life back then but also affect us today. From the advancement in anatomy that aided the creation of the “David” to the sketches of a flying machine. The advances of the Renaissance helped improve our quality back then and now. New generations will benefit from the great discoveries made during the renaissance period. Our knowledge of the natural world will allow us to advance thanks to the improvements of the Renaissance period.

Sample student DBQ ADVANCEMENTS IN MATH AND SCIENCE DURRING THE REANAISSANCE

Many scholars during the Renaissance (the rebirth of classical ideas) believed that mathematics could help them understand the universe; they studied and built upon ancient math text, in effect scholars created symbols that we still use today in math; for example the symbol for square root and positive and negative numbers. The advancements in math led to advancements in other fields of science, such as engineering and architecture. Engineers and architects used the newly discovered mathematical formulas to strengthen buildings and create sketches of new inventions using perspective.These inventions lead to other discoveries leading to the Scientific Revolution and the Age of Reason. The mathematical theory of utilizing perspective in drawing was initially developed by a Florentine architect named Filippo Brunelleschi. Brunelleschi studied Greek geometry and developed the theory of perspective which engineers and architects use to sketch inventions and buildings. An example of architects utilizing perspective in their sketches is Brunelleschi. It is evident that Brunelleschi used perspective in his design of church San Lorenzo; Brunelleschi must have used mathematical ratios and perspective to sketch the arches and columns of the church. In many ways this design reflects the Renaissance values of beauty, advancements in mathematics and architecture, and the rebirth of classical ideas. It is also evident that Leonardo da Vinci used perspective in his sketches and designs of his studies of anatomy, and in his sketches of machines that would enable humans to fly. One of his most famous design is his “a sketch flying machine” (shown in document 4) that the modern invention “the helicopter” is modeled after. Da vinci used mathematical formulas of ratio and proportion to construct his sketches into a life-size model. These models were a template of many modern machines such as: airplanes, helicopters, hot air balloons, and gliders; which is used today for transportation for people. The new advancements in math allowed inventors like da Vinci to construct new devices quickly. In document 3 Leonardo da Vinci writes a letter to his lord, stating that he is more than willing to design and construct new inventions to aid him and his army during battle. Leonardo da Vinci states many inventions he plans to construct “I have also plans for making canon,very convenient and easy of transport”; these inventions and ideas were spread throughout Europe by war, which in effect taught many people how to construct these inventions using the mathematical formulas of ratio and proportion .These ideas were built upon by other scholars. Galileo’s telescope (document 2) is an example of building upon the ideas of other scholars. Galileo used his skills in mathematics on Lippershey”s spyglass and made it 15 times stronger. Some improvements Galileo did to the spyglass was to have the spyglass in one tube and fit that tube inside a bigger tube so you could slide the spyglass in and change focuses, he also worked on changing the spyglass’s curve and size to make it stronger. Through experiments and calculations Galileo’s spyglass could magnify objects 15 times more than Lippershey’s spyglass. This allowed scholars to view space and created the heliocentric theory, the theory that the earth evolved around the sun. The mathematical advancements in perspective, ratios ,and proportion allowed many amazing inventions to be designed and created. These new inventions led to greater discoveries, which would soon lead up to the Scientific Revolution and the Age of Exploration.

RENAISSANCE DBQ

The Renaissance means the "rebirth" from the classical era. The Renaissance had many values, such as art and architecture. Technology, math, and astronomy combined led to progress that the current generation enjoys wherever we go; these values led to the modernization of mankind. Galileo's telescope helped people realize the heliocentric theory. Leonardo da Vinci not only created art, but other kinds of technology and inventions as well. Math helped creating the church of San Lorenzo by using ratios, balance, and proportion. Galileo made many devices; he made his first telescope in 1609. His telescope helped people learn about the heliocentric theory and the world outside of the earth. Galileo’s telescope magnifies twenty times, so he was able to see the moon. Galileo's telescope could have led to the observatory. His telescope contributed to society by studying the stars and moon.  Leonardo da Vinci is an artist and genius. He painted the Mona Lisa, but he did not just create art, he also designed and made weapons. According to Document 3, he made weapons and defenses to protect his Lord and the land. An example of a weapon he made is a canon which is very useful by making its beautiful shape and has easy transport. For defenses, he made armored cars, which will make the person or people or people inside safe and unassailable. The ships he made resisted fire from canons. He would have made his weapons and defenses to function right so he could protect his Lord and land. Leonardo da Vinci's weapons and defenses could have led to the modern weapons today. Leonardo da Vinci is known as an artist, genius, and an inventor. He made art and weapons. He also designed and invented a flying machine. He was sketching many ideas for machines that would allow people to fly. Da Vinci studied birds to figure out how they flew. While he was studying all types of birds he made many sketches of ideas he had. He studied the wings of a bat to make the wings for his flying machine. His flying machine was meant to work and he did test it and it worked. His invention could have led to the modern helicopters today. Math in the Renaissance helped with art and architecture. In Document 7, math helped Brunichelli design and build the church of San Lorenzo. He used round arches and round columns. When Brunelleschi built the church, he used ratios, balance, and proportions. He built the church using proportions so that everything was the right size. He used balance so the church is not tilted and so it’s standing straight up. He probably used ratios to see how many arches and columns he needed. When he was designing the church, he used perspective for the columns, arches, and ceiling to make it look real. This church led to the churches today. Technology, math, and astronomy/heliocentric theory led to the modernization of mankind by the use of the new knowledge, such as Galileo’s telescope lead to the telescope to learn about the heliocentric theory, Leonardo da Vinci’s weapons and defenses led to the modern weapons and armor today, and Da Vinci’s flying machine led to the modern helicopters. Unlike people in the past, people used more simple tools and equipment like swords and tools made of stone. Instead of using a telescope to look at the stars and sky, people just looked straight into the sky without studying it carefully. Without this great technology and knowledge, we wouldn’t be able to explore and understand the world.
