Italian+Renaissance+Art

=__**Italian Renaissance Art**__=


 * The Italian Renaissance will be the subject of my “Different Drum” project; more specifically the art of the Renaissance. The Italian Renaissance has been one of the most interesting periods I’ve been admiring for a while, because it touched base on so many subjects from science and philosophy to literature and poetry. One of the subjects that is innovative is art, and some of the ways that it is innovative is the different and new techniques they used to make art more attractive and appealing to viewers. The artists during the Renaissance were starting to drift away from medieval art because it was too static. The change of these techniques would inspire artists in future generations to paint, sculpt, etc. better. The techniques they used were to make paintings, with people, have more emotion. Many years later would get information from the paintings itself because of the great detail the artist put in it. The art in the Renaissance “is the one field people most associate with the Renaissance since it saw the most radical innovations and breaks with the Middle Ages” (flowofhistory.com). **


 *  There were numerous artists, but two who out were more famous among all of them, was the innovator of the early Renaissance, Giotto di Bondone, “his work is recognized for its innovations in painting that help define the cultural transition of medieval Europe into the new era”; and, the artist most recognized when you hear the words Italian Renaissance, Leonardo da Vinci, who experimented the model of the human which helped him create “dignified, stable, and often majestic art.” **

=__** Italian Renaissance Inventors/Inventions **__=


 * Most of the inventions of the early Renaissance came from various developers such as Leonardo da Vinci, Johann Gutenberg, Giotto, etc. They invented or thought of ideas that would later be perfected for all common people to use. Such inventions changed history and the world with it's somewhat simplicity. Such inventions like the printing press and the parachute and submarine and so on and so forth. Most were just ideas than actual inventions. A really well known ideologist was Leonardo di Vinci because he though outside the box, to me maybe even more than that he had taken it to the next level. He came up with ideas that would benefit the world as a whole some ideas included a Robotic knight, an aerial screw (what is known as a modern helicopter now), an armored tank, a diving suit, etc. this list goes on for a good amount of time, in fact he had a journal dedicated to all these different ideas that sounded idiotic at the time. He planned to invent all these, but died before he had the chance to do any of this.**
