Renaissance

It is often easier to look back at a time in history and place a name on it rather than naming it at the time. I'm sure there will be differing names for our time in history given the happenings of late. Maybe those in the future will agree on exactly what to call it or maybe not. The Renaissance seems to be a bit of a re-birth at least when looking at the readings about art and humanism. What an amazing time to live through for those that wanted freedom to express and study what they believed to be important. The new techniques, especially perspective, created a new world for artists to journey. By looking to the past the artists were able to bring back the arts and then they moved forward by making improvements and creating new forms of art. It seems this re-birth was just a stepping stone towards an amazing and exciting time in the creation of art.
