Art & Artists of the Renaissance
How did the art & artistic techniques of the Renaissance differ from & improve upon that
of the Middle Ages?
Before you begin…..Let’s review how to use images as
evidence• The saying “a picture is worth a thousand words”
applies here• When using an image as evidence describe what can
be seen in the image• Describe colors, styles, details, subject matter, all
things observable• You do not need to put these observations in
quotation marks• I will give you some examples of this and you will
get some practice doing this later
WE WILL BEGIN BY LOOKING AT SOME EXAMPLES OF MEDIEVAL ART
My observations:This image uses only basic colors
like blue, yellow and red. The image is based upon a religious scene which is evident because the individuals seems to have halos behind their heads and their hands are pressed together like they are praying. The image is very flat looking and the individuals in the image do not look realistic. Their bodies appear very long and very thin which does not look like a realistic person. There are not very many details in this image. The image is largely composed of the praying figures.
Have you made your observations on medieval
art thus far?
Color, details, topics, perspective, portrayal of the
body?
Lets take a look at some Renaissance art in
comparison to the medieval art we have already seen… remember to continue to make your observations using specific details!

Have you made all of your observations on Renaissance art?
Major characteristics of Renaissance art
Perspective was achieved through vanishing points
Three Dimensional Art • The technique of shading
allowed for 2-dimensional artwork to achieve the allusion of 3-dimensions
Defrosted Art
By carefully studying the human body and the way in which it
moved, artists were
able to capture
figures in motion
Realism• By reviving
classical Greek & Roman styles and techniques, Renaissance artists achieved a high level of realism
HumanismRenaissance thinkers and artists were focused upon people, their individual attributes, and their emotions
