Mannerism+Activity

The idea behind this activity is to discover some of the key features, aspects, traits, or characteristics that make up the style of certain artistic eras. You will get to look at three examples from some main eras to see if you can discover what the painters did in common that give a similar look or style to each grouping of three. You will look at how the painters used the [|elements of design] to communicate a shared goal.
 * What to Do**

You will be looking at three pieces from the Mannerist period. You must describe how each of these pieces shows elements of Mannerist art. In completing this activity you must show how all of the pieces share similar elements. Please refer back to the [|elements of design] page if you forget the terms from the beginning of the year. You must describe each piece and you must use at least 5 of the terms to show how they are each great examples of mannerist art.
