Prepare the class for the next formal essay:
Art, Reading Literature, Informative Writing
Examine the rendering of Caravaggio’s The Death of the Virgin. How does the artist choose to create dramatic effects? For instance, note the nuances of light and shadow, mood, composition of the figures, and illusion of depth. Note the curtain the painter has included to "reveal” the scene. How do these elements direct your eye? Does the curtain draw you into a certain part of the painting? Can you find similarities between the Caravaggio and Act V, scene iii, of Romeo and Juliet? Describe and explain the significance of at least three examples. (RL.9-10.7, SL.9-10.1, SL.9-10.2
