Renaissance art and the internet generation

I think that the main reason that the renaissance is so important to our society today is that we are currently working so quickly on our own revolution and renaissance in the world of science. We find the progression of the great artists such as Michelangelo who is known not only for his art but for his architecture and scientific inventions to be progressive plan to follow for our own changes.

Everything is changing in this day and time. We are rediscovering the past while we are re-inventing the wheel. The art world is included we are still discovering new genres and how to go about creating something new and different. We are learning how to do lost forms of art and creating new ones.

We appreciate the abilities of these men whose work is still with us and find that there are differences between their time and ours. A huge difference is that we are not supported with complete financial confidence by the powers that be. Thanks to the ability to find financial support these men were also the teachers of their times. Thanks to them we are treated to such beautiful pieces that are realistic as possible. In addition these artists have brought about the birth of new ideas and reintroduced the concept of classical art.

We who are now learning to do our art work on the computer are discovering how difficult it can be to create your own paint. A new canvas is being created in more ways than one. Display is different; who sees your work is expanded. More of the world is rediscovering art they never knew existed. The renaissance brought about the renewal of art after the dark ages. We are now coming out of the dark ages of human existence and into a place of enlightenment.

We are also being introduced again to these works as they are becoming an interactive and close up experience for those of us in other countries to poor to visit the real work. They are also used for movies, advertisements and we are becoming more inundated by different work in our daily lives. How many of us would have the opportunity to see the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel or the note book pages of Michelangelo without this valuable resource.

This is about more than the crackle or modeling. We are now able to analyze the works and how they were completed by scientific methods we can now see the original works and the contemporary artists who are recreating them or borrowing elements thereof to make something new and original. The downside is that even though more people are becoming involved in the arts both creation and collection fewer understand what the differences are between great works and good craft. It makes the work of renaissance artists all the more important to the art student who is endeavoring to understand the complexities of what is great art and what is not. This is why it is important to me and I hope other students.
