Facebook Project
Name:______
Due: ______
For this project, you will design a Facebook page, using the template provided, for a famous Renaissance artist or Reformation leader. We will pick our artists in class. Although we understand that Facebook did not exist at the time many of these individuals lived, we know enough about people to figure that they may have had Facebook pages.
Your sample Facebook should provide us with an in-depth analysis of this artist or leader and his or her environment. Your project should reflect your understanding of how studying an artist’s or religious leader’s life can provide us with a deeper understanding of the renaissance and reformation.
Please take this project seriously. Be tasteful and appropriate. Although it is an entertaining project, it’s still a project nonetheless.
