Post #9 READING AND GRQ – RENAISSANCE AND MODERN ART

Everyone should know this but needless to say, the great works and contributions by notable names during the Renaissance era greatly influenced modern-day arts and design. To this day, their works remain relevant; and their techniques, style, theme, and basic elements are still being used as references despite the emergence of new technology and more current trends. Most of the artworks and paintings from the Renaissance era focus on what people are doing during that time. Such a characteristic is referred to as “humanism” because the subjects of the artworks are mostly humans. Within Modern art, art is not simplified to one thing. The creativity and opportunity for artists in this day and age are endless.
