The renaissance was a time where art and culture exploded and grew crazy fast. It was a rebirth of life for the people. New styles of art were made and culture was changed. More focus was put on the human life and what it meant to people. It began in Italy about A.D. 1305 and spread throughout Europe and lasted till about 1600. The people where ready for a revival after the Black Death and a war between England and France. So the renaissance gave them a new found passion for the arts and for knowledge. The renaissance was a revolution for the people and was a newfound passion to learn new styles of art and learning. The renaissance affected the way people make art and the skills people wanted to learn. It sapped the way we see the arts and how the people back then used their talents. The renaissance has affected everyone. It changed the way art was made and it shaped the way we learn today. We might still be in the middle evil ways of life if the renaissance had not came about.
