B. destroying Renaissance art as morally corrupt.
C. overseeing the building of the Hagia Sophia.
D. overseeing the construction of Constantinople.

The Emperor Justinian is most often remembered for C. overseeing the building of the Hagia Sophia. 

Hagia Sophia was a Greek Orthodox Christian patriarchal basilica (a church), which later became an imperial mosque, and now is a museum (Ayasofya Müzesi) in Istanbul, Turkey. IT was originally built between 532 and 537 on the orders of the Byzantine Emperor Justinian I.

A. kept separate books for writing and sketching.
B. kept them strictly for his own use.
C. intended to publish at least some of them.
D. was highly organized about keeping his notes.

The correct answer is B) he kept them strictly for his own use.

He never meant to publish any of his works, at least not until he had achieved definitive results in what he was studying. He liked to experiment a lot and was interested in many scientific things, many of which can be found in his notes.

3. Many art historians argue that the Italian Renaissance began in
A. Rome.
B. Venice.
C. Constantinople.
D. Florence.

The Italian Renaissance began in D) Florence. 

The main reason it began in Florence is because the region of Tuscany rose to economic prominence by providing credit for European monarchs and laying down the groundwork for capitalism and banking. Wealthy men had money to hire artisans and craftspeople, and this led to competitions among artists and thinkers. Thanks to this, many new thoughts had flourished.

The Hagia Sophia which converted from a christian church to a Muslim mosque and currently is a museum, was constructed in the exceptionally short time of about six years, being completed in 537 CE. The Hagia Sophia connects a longitudinal basilica and a centralized building in a completely original manner, with a huge 32-metre central dome, stayed on pendentives and two semidomes, one on each side of the longitudinal axis. In the plan, the building is almost square.

Leonardo da Vinci (1452 - 1519), painter, artist, designer and engineer, held notes and drawings of his studies, plans and imaginations. Over 7,000 pages have remained, including this notebook remembered as Codex Arundel after its English collector Thomas Howard, 14th earl of Arundel.

Renaissance art relates to paintings, sculptures and decorative arts that regard to the Renaissance period of European history. The age of the art was described by the transition from medieval to modern eras. The Italian Renaissance was a period of European history that started in the 14th century and remained until the 17th century, signifying the transition from the Medieval period to Modernity.
