This high-quality coloring book is filled with lovely line drawings of many famous works of art from the Renaissance, specifically featuring scenes and portraits of the people of this remarkable era. Students learn about renaissance culture and historical personalitiues as they color or paint the pictures (printed on heavy white paper stock), then cut out and use these in projects and presentations, to decorate reports, or simply for fun. A great research challenge for older students is to use Internet and library resources to track down images of the original artworks from which these drawings were made...then finish the pictures with the same colors as Michelangelo, Raphael, Leonardo and other Renaissance artists used originally.
