These credentials documents competencies including knowledge of world art, fine and applied art, and the historical events and people that influenced and created historical art. Though many positions in art history require appropriate education at various levels and additional training, a fundamental understanding of art history provides foundational knowledge that supports many aspects of daily tasks and decision-making for artists, teachers, art therapists, tour guides, librarians, curators, designers, and researchers. Specifically, this badge demonstrates the earner's ability to describe art and artists from the sixteenth-century in Italy, including locations of art, well-known examples of art, historical events that influenced this period of art and characteristics from this period.
