Day 80 - BHS Italian Students Study Art - BHS Foreign Language Dept.


In Italian IV and V, students study different facets of Italian art. While the Italian IV curriculum focuses on Medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque art, Italian V explores different modern art movements. In December, both Italian IV and V classes went to the MFA  to see first-hand paintings and sculptures from the periods and art styles that they had been studying in class. At the museum, the two classes went on separate tours, accompanied by a museum teacher and their Burlington High School chaperones. Afterwards, everyone went to the North End for lunch and cannoli. After vacation, Italian IV students presented their projects on the life, work, and significance of their favorite Italian Renaissance artist. Italian V students instead created, wrote, and talked about their own masterpiece, an object modeled after one of the modern art movements that they had studied.
