Renaissance Italian Artists The Renaissance occurred in Europe between 1400 and 1600. This event began in Italy during the Medieval period and then expanded to the rest of Europe, marking the start of the Modern age. The Renaissance began in Florence Italy in the 14th century. It was a cultural movement that had an enormous impact in Europe during the early modern period. The Renaissance’s influenced politics, science, literature, art, philosophy, religion, music, and other aspects. Around the 13th century in Italy started the Renaissance’s art influence. Leonardo da Vinci, was known as the "Renaissance man," because of his art masterpieces and his studies in other fields during this time. Italy wasn’t a political concept in the

High Renaissance Visual Analysis Introduction Generally believed to have begun in Florence, the Renaissance – also known as the ‘Rebirth’ – was a period of reviving interest in classical art and the beginning of scientific revolution. The Renaissance period did not begin abruptly; instead, it was an idea that took shape since the time of the painter Giotto (Gombrich 2007). In the early Renaissance period, Giotto experimented with and laid the foundation for painting with perspective, a method that was refined and perfected by later painters and sculptors. The period towards the end of the fifteenth century was known as the High Renaissance. It was the apex of artistic innovations, techniques, and productions. The height of the

Graphic Design and Advertising Positive Impact on Our World. “Vision is the art of seeing the invisible” ( Jonathon Swift). We have been indulging in the arts and have used art as a way to express and interact with the people surrounding us. To the carved images on rocks, and to the cartoons shown on the TV, the evolution of Graphic Design has shown us the importance of typography, photographers, illustrators etc. have on our society. When paper, ink, and pencils didn’t exist, our ancestors would carve their warnings, messages, and emotions on rocks and walls. Our ancestors don’t realize that such small acts such as these was the beginning of a huge movement, that wouldn’t be recognized until thousands years later. During the 16th century, China was able to establish a technique called woodblock printing or, the application of ink on raised curved surface, that allowed multiple text and images to be made quickly. China’s wide extension of printing slowly reached the middle east and caused Europe to start producing woodblock broadsides and printed books. The first printing press was constructed by Johannes Gutenberg, which was the first metal movable type to create a large amount of printed books. In the Old days books were very rare, expensive and were very valuable. The creation of the Printing press allowed books to be done faster, cheaper and it allowed books to be more accessible to the public. Graphic Design or “the art or skill of combining text and pictures in

After reading over chapters fifteen through twenty they describe when and where art was used the most. Art was used in many cultures in different time periods as the years, centuries pasted art became more advances and more complex. People used what they could find to make something out of it.

Once humans entered the agrarian age, they began to create more than just tools for survival. Previously, humans had hunted for their food, taking down gigantic beasts with sharpened stones. Upon discovering they could grow and harvest food, these peoples shifted from a nomadic lifestyle to a settled one. Due to this change, human tribes were able to advance into a civilization. These people then had the leisure to think, create and imagine, and one of the many culminations from this new era was art.

What did art represent in the Italian Renaissance? Explain the significance of the art in the Renaissance - using examples.

During the late Fifteenth, the number of woodcarvers were more prevalent than butchers (“Patrons and Artist in Late 15th-Century Florence”). This example indicates that art was a more prioritized commodity than meat, which subsequently means artists were greatly valued. People who treasured art ranged from upper class to middle class, or lower class (“Patrons and Artist in Late 15th-Century Florence”). Much of the artists that were called by patrons in the courts because their projects came from southern Netherland cities such as: Burges, Brussels, Ghent, and Toumai (Davies et al. 476). Apparently, the patrons harbored a lot of jealousy of the unique status their artistic charges, that of independency in addition to the privileges

There has been many methods throughout the history of drafting and different tools that people use. Drafting was really significant because it shoed another way of things. When people draft the make measurements when drafting. To make this measurement people needed tools to get the right measurement of what they

Renaissance Art The Renaissance time period was home to many new ideas in art. This includes new artists bringing forth ideas that had yet to be discovered and made popular. New themes and types of art were also being brought forward during this period.

In the Middle Ages drafting was used for things that related to science and scholarly works, kind of like how we use drafting now of days. The first drafting tool was rulers that were dated back to 1500 BC. Rulers

Through the use of sketching techniques (the ability to create fast, understandable views of objects with only a pencil and a piece of paper- still used by engineers, designers, architects, builders, and craftsmen, today), the French had developed greater animation in their gothic decoration than their followers. They emphasized soaring heights and light qualities that were later adopted across Europe.

The Venetian Renaissance style is different and yet similar in many ways to the Late Renaissance period for a number of reasons: Location, as Venice is located so far from Rome and Florence. Being located along the open water-ways, Venice literally became this massive number of small islands that were inter-connected

High Renaissance Painting in Florence and environs, 1490-1550 Learning about the art history in general during the Renaissance period makes anyone’s interpretation towards art change to the better. You become aware, of the color harmonization’s, and reason behind each detail drawn in a portrait or made in a sculpture. Symmetry, geometry and color coordination were revolutionized in portraits and paintings by famous artist like Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Raphael which is momentous. These three individuals played an enormous role during the Renaissance with their artistic work. The west building, known as the edifice had a roman traditional classical style, but built with modern technology, thus to catch the visitors attention

They began to paint and sculpt human bodies which needed specific techniques of scaling and math. Historian William J. Connell, La Motta Chair in Seton Hall University, describes the common artistic features between Classical age and Renaissance. He explains, “Freestanding, larger-than-life-size statues of human beings were sculpted for the first time since antiquity” (3). During the Classical age, huge statues of human could be found in the history in which scientific ideas were required to design and to sculpt it appropriately. Artists of Renaissance revived the way of sculpting as well as painting of Greek and Roman culture where they used techniques from math as well as science. The influence of classical culture transformed the art and the way of making it by using scientific knowledge of drawing and sculpting, and provided it a sense human importance on the artistic works.

Early computer was much different from the computers we know today. Artist were not interested in computers for art in their earliest designs. The earliest computers did not have monitors and were massive machines that filled large rooms. An example of such a computer, the ENAIC that was developed at the University of Pennsylvania in the 1940s was the most powerful computer at the
