The Lost Frescoes

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Students explore the life and art of Giotto and his use of perspective in his drawings. They then write a short paper about how political support needs to be generated for community action to save objects of art. They investigate what action they can take to help safeguard cultural treasures in their own communities.
