Pike’s seventh grade students showcased their knowledge and creativity at the Renaissance Art Gallery, held just outside the theater. This event marked the culmination of weeks of studying the Renaissance, with a focus on the art of both Italy and Northern Europe.
For their final project, students selected a Renaissance artist to research and create interactive digital books using Book Creator. Each student also analyzed a Renaissance masterpiece—whether a painting, sculpture, or architectural work—highlighting the seven key characteristics of Renaissance art. These thoughtful analyses were included in their digital books.
The gallery allowed students to share their projects in a museum-like setting, fostering rich discussions and a deeper appreciation for the art and innovation of the Renaissance period.
