Written response: For the written response, do not list in bullet points, your answer still needs to be in narrative form. And, good heavens, no texting shorthand.
What is going on in the scene?
What message is being conveyed?

We are now in the Early Renaissance, how have the figures evolved from what we saw last week?
• Written response: this will be a regular journal assignment responding to the prompt. There should be specific examples. Don’t just tell me “in the Lamentation,” but WHERE specifically, “the emotion is seen on Mary’s face within the Lamentation scene.” I cannot stress this enough. Two to three paragraphs of good information that answers the question – no fluff, not giving me background on the artist, the movement, elaborating on the Biblical story, etc. Only relevant facts that pertain to the question.
