Sarah's Art History - Introduction and Painting no. 1
Hi there, welcome to first of Sarah’s Art History.
Where we’ll go through the history of art painting by painting, I’ll give you some activities and three questions about the next painting we are going to look at… so first up –
Copy and paste this into google: Margarito of Arezzo The Virgin and Child Enthroned National Gallery
And it should be the first link (if not find it through the National Gallery website – www.nationalgallery.org.uk, click on the magnifying glass, click on paintings, type in ‘margarito of arezzo’, click on painting)
Find the little box lower left with the painting in small and click on the – so you can see the whole painting. And answer these questions for when we meet up again soon.
Questions before we begin!
Where is the mother and baby?
How many boxes on either side? (look at the pictures in them. Which is your favourite?)
Can you find the dragon? How many heads has he got?
