For this years history fair, I chose the renaissance because I am very interested in art, and I have a family

full of artists, my Uncle George, who is one of the most well known artists in new orleans, lousiana. My grandma was also a Destin, Florida artist. My mom was an art history major in graduate school, too. I am also interested in how art evolved over time, and I heard about the renaissance on the discovery and history channels, and I found it to be very interesting. I also had some knowledge of renaissance art because I visited paris, France, and my family and I went to the louvre museum, which holds some of the greatest renaissance art in the world, including the mona lisa by leonardo di vinci. How I did my research on the topic I did my research on the renaissance by looking at books, observing some renaissance artwork, and getting facts from the internet. I looked at websites for the renaissance, and my mom had some books on the renaissance from graduate school that had a lot of great information. Why I chose to do a website I chose to do a website for this years history fair because it is neater and more organized than any other option. It also looks cooler, too. The website is easier for people to look at it, instead of looking at a paper or a powerpoint. Many people have computers and the website would be all around an easier, more organized and more neat than any other options. How my topic relates to the theme
