Sixth grade students learned that Renaissance means “Rebirth" and that this period in art history started in Florence, Italy between 1400 and 1500.
They also learned that Albrecht Durer was one of the greatest artists of the Renaissance. He studied nature to make his drawings and paintings as realistic as possible.
After viewing several examples of his work, students observed a model of a spider and drew it, then traced it onto metal tooling foil. This type of art is called "repousse" which means "to push back" in French. After engraving the metal with their drawings, black shoe polish was added for the final effect
