The Renaissance Connection
Allentown Art Museum
Allentown, Pennsylvania
eduweb collaborated with Allentown museum staff on this multi-faceted Web site that explores Renaissance visual arts and innovations and their role in the making of the modern world. Applying research into learning styles and user engagement, we developed a suite of online activities and resources for middle school students and teachers: Explore a timeline of Renaissance art and innovation, commission an artwork as a patron of the arts, design your own innovation, and much more, all enhanced with quirky visuals, irreverent humor, and engaging interactivity that reveal the ways that Renaissance life and culture resemble our own. eduweb's role: Concept and content development, visual design, illustration, animation, programming, production, and user testing.
Winner, AAM Muse Awards"This design clearly states that history is not boring! The Monty-Python-esque animation is particularly attention-getting and inviting and especially effective when the visitor becomes a 'Patron of the Arts.' This site hits the mark for younger teens!"

"How do you make Renaissance art and culture relevant and meaningful to today's middle school students? We turned to eduweb, which clearly understood both the goals and the challenges of the project. eduweb helped define the big idea, establish objectives, develop the themes, and define a humorous personality for the site that would bring the Renaissance into the 21st century. We are delighted with the results and thank eduweb for their vision, creativity, and dedication to project." Lise M. Dubé
