Teach art? I don’t even know how to draw!!” Many of us started there. We felt a total lack of confidence in teaching art. We wanted to give our children all the benefits of art in their education but didn’t know how. Some of us did a few colorful hands-on projects with our children, but we could see they weren’t really learning the basics of art. We had never learned the basics of art ourselves.

He was probably the most talented sculptor who ever lived, perhaps even the most talented artist who ever lived. His art was dramatic, detailed, and always perfect. The people he sculpted were usually twisting or displayed in striking (or maybe awkward) poses. All this drama makes Michelangelo a link between the traditional Renaissance art and the Mannerist movement which bridges the Renaissance and Baroque periods.

His impact reached far beyond Germany, partially because he traveled to other countries, but more because his Woodblock cuts were far beyond what anyone had ever created! However, Durer wasn't just an artist, he was also interested in theology, science, proportions, math, geometry, and epistemology (the study of the foundation of knowledge).2018-12-241h 03Anyone Can Teach Art | from Ridge Light RanchAnyone Can Teach Art | from Ridge Light Ranch38- Why Study Fra Angelico?We can see the Gothic-to-Renaissance progression over the years in Fra Angelico's works of art and have rich conversations about the underlying philosophies and worldviews that influenced art at this time.

In this style we see a lot of patterns and drawings that look like knots and ropes. As far as abstract art goes, it's a very meticulous, mathematical style- very different than some other types of abstract art.
