Assignment extension
One extension idea is to remind students that they've taken a time machine back to the Renaissance. They are trying to fit in, of course…but it would only be natural they might have brought something with them back in time, perhaps something they care about, something that reveals information about themselves. In my Renaissance "Selfie" I decided to be holding baseball cards from my youth. Hank Aaron and Bobby Clemente were two of my childhood heroes, and I will be reproducing their cards in this painting.
