The Renaissance (Chris Bollow)

Your task is to analyze how the men and women who lived during the Renaissance defined the Renaissance, how the Medici family played a part in it, and to analyze the science, humanism and art of the time.  You will write a 3 page paper on what you find including whether you think the Medici family and it's power was positive or negative.  The paper only has to be double spaced; the purpose of this is to learn not to write a giant paper.  You are encouraged to share your own opinions as well.
