The Renaissance: A Timeless Influence on Art and Society
The Renaissance, which lasted from the 14th to the 17th century, was an important time of
change in Europe. It brought new ideas about art, science, and the value of human creativity.
Artists like Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo created famous works, such as the Mona Lisa
and David, that showed incredible skill and a new focus on realism and emotion.
I believe Renaissance art still influences modern art today. The way artists used perspective
and studied the human body set the stage for techniques used by artists now. Even digital art
often uses ideas about light and proportion that came from the Renaissance. This period
wasn’t just a time of great art in the past—it still inspires creativity today.
2. Read the following text and write an article (120-150 words) for the English
section of your school website in order to a) describe the differences
between museums with physical walls and virtual ones and b) explain the
strengths and weaknesses of virtual museums.
“Unique art pieces and varied works of art grab the attention of people and paintings are
instilled with life whereas statues are crafted mindfully to entice audiences for ages. Nothing
beats visiting a museum or an art gallery and witness master art pieces from world renowned
artists and experience the vibe of the exhibition.
Vatican Museum tour on YouTube
As technology advances, almost every live physical event has been transformed into a virtual
space. Even though witnessing an art in-person is another level of experience, what can be
done when we are confined indoors and not allowed to travel? Adopting virtual tours of a
museum or an art gallery seems a viable solution in the current times. With virtual museums,
you simply overcome the barrier of geographical restrictions and time zone constraints. You
no longer have to wait in queues for security scans and other proceedings. Virtual tours for
your favorite museum can be done anytime be it daytime or night. They always remain open
365 a day and round the clock ensuring the health safety of people Virtual museums,
however, were not openly accepted years ago and navigating all the aspects of the museum
virtually looked like time-consuming and confusing task. With advancements in technology
and with the emergence of virtual event platforms, virtual tours of museums became a viable
option.

Physical vs. Virtual Museums
Visiting a physical museum lets you see art and objects up close, enjoy the atmosphere, and
feel the excitement of being surrounded by history and creativity. Virtual museums, however,
allow you to explore collections from your home. You don’t need to travel, wait in lines, or
worry about opening hours since they’re available anytime.
UNIT 3-THE RENAISSANCE

Virtual museums have good and bad points. They are great because they are easy to access,
always open, and safe from crowds. They are especially helpful when traveling isn’t possible.
But they can’t give the same feeling as being there in person, and some people find virtual
tours harder to use or less exciting.
Both types of museums are important, and together they give everyone a chance to enjoy art
and history in different ways.

4. While wandering out-and-about you came across an amazing graffiti of
Renaissance Art. Write an article (120-150 words) to be posted in THE ART OF
GRAFFITI website in order to a) describe the graffiti and explain the
impression it made on you b) state your opinion about whether graffiti is art
or vandalism. Support your opinion with some examples .

” When Street Art & Classical Art Collide! A Beautiful Combination Street art has always been
a very wide umbrella term for art that is presented or created in the urban environment.
Although many people argue over what truly defines ‘street art’ and what types or styles of
art can truly be represented by this title, people refer to any sort of obvious artwork in the
street as ‘street art‘. So this movement has found a huge increase in popularity and followers
in the last few years than ever before with more support, encouragement and appreciation for
artists to experiment and push the boundaries of art in the urban space. As the various styles
within street art develop and flourish into evermore highly-technical masterpieces, the
general public and art fans alike are seeing it less as vandalism and more as a legitimate
artistic movement. How can the classic styles and masterpieces found in famous galleries
such as the Louvre in Paris or the Belvedere in Vienna combine with street art to create
pieces that are of a classic style but presented in a modern, urban form? It is amazing and
exciting, and the old masters such as Picasso and Monet could never have predicted such a
UNIT 3-THE RENAISSANCE
thing would happen. But it is, and it is happening right in front of our eyes! We can really
begin to relate the rebirth of classical art (mainly Renaissance-style) in a modern form!”

A Renaissance Masterpiece on the Streets
While walking in the city, I saw an amazing piece of graffiti that mixed Renaissance art with
modern street art. It was a bold and colorful version of Leonardo da Vinci’s The Last Supper.
The artist combined the classic style with modern touches, and it was beautiful to see such an
unexpected mix of old and new.
I believe graffiti is definitely art. This kind of work shows real skill and creativity. Street art can
make people think, bring beauty to cities, and share important messages. For example,
Banksy’s art often tells powerful stories, and murals around the world celebrate local history
and culture. Graffiti, when done with care and purpose, is not vandalism but a modern way of
creating and sharing art with everyone.

5. There is a competition in your school newspaper about the best article to be

published regarding a work of art and you decide to take part in it(150-180
words)

The Beauty of Starry Night

One of the most amazing works of art I have ever seen is Vincent van Gogh’s Starry Night.
Painted in 1889, it shows a beautiful night sky full of swirling stars and a peaceful village
below. The bright colors and moving shapes in the sky make it feel alive and magical.
This painting means a lot to me because it feels so emotional. Van Gogh painted it during a
hard time in his life, yet it shows hope and wonder. It’s a reminder that art can turn sadness
into something beautiful.
I think Starry Night is a timeless painting because it speaks to everyone in different ways.
Whether you see it as a picture of nature, feelings, or just something beautiful, it connects
people. It’s a perfect example of how art can inspire us and make us feel something special
