The Renaissance
Project
Yes, we know that the real Renaissance took place half a millenium ago, but remnants do survive and flourish and delight those who are privileged to see them.
This semester Lynn Mahon's English 12 students impressed everyone else at CHS with the results of the Renaissance Project, an
activity designed specifically to showcase students' abilities in other disciplines. The problem: Use your particular talent(s) to build, draw, write, compose, perform, create, sew, cook something directly related to the Medieval Period, the Renaissance that
followed, or the play, Macbeth.
Altogether, 101 seniors participated. Outstanding among projects displayed were an elaborate castle of stone and moss designed and built by Seth Cyfers; a castle of welded and cut metal presented by Brandon Collins and Dustin Gore; a model of the Pont de
Vallentre Bridge by Daniel Doss,
Charlotte Adkins and Shelley
Carter; a witch's cabinet by Ashley Gore and Amanda Workman, and several performance videos. A notable project focusing
on the practical and beautiful arts was a medieval highborn lady's dress and headdress sewn by Shanda May and Veronica Hager.
The project was so successful that we at CHS hope to see it repeated next year.
