Art reached new heights during the Renaissance. Many new techniques and styles emerged such as perspective, chiaroscuro, and sfumato. Before the Renaissance, artists focused primarily on religious scenes and Gothic art. During the Renaissance, artists began to focus more on realism and human qualities. Renaissance artists also began to lean towards Roman and Greek styles/ideas for inspiration.
For example calligraphy was a beautiful art form and in document 6, calligraphy in the shape of a bird is seen as art. This intricate detailed art was used to reflect the glory of allah. Muslims are not allowed to put humans in their art so caligraphy was a way to express their love for allah respectfully. Calligraphy was used to add decoration to buildings and objects as well. This art form diffused into Europe and Asia becoming a popular style.
The narrative of art that Lorenzo Ghiberti tells in “The Second Commentary” is how the Christian faith was victorious in the time of Emperor Constaine and Pope Sylvester (152). But the decline, began when everyone was ordered to make any statue and or picture in the color white (153). This, in Ghiberti’s opinion ended the art and teachings of sculpture and art. But, the rise of art and sculpture began when Greeks began to create paintings and sculptures over six hundred before the great era of Christianity (153). It is when Cimabue, one of the greatest painters from Florence took a young boy under his wing by the name of Gitto.
They are also well distinguished by being bright white on a pale blue background, giving it a cool and gentle feel. Their scale is done in a way that almost pushes on the borders and forces you pay attention and understand a sense of space.

This could be found as a decorative work, considering the fragility and impractical size, though it may have been for the use of painting on a smaller scale.
While reading “The Trouble with (the Term) Art,” written by Carolyn Dean in the summer of 2006, we are taken through an array of different scenarios that lead us to questions what art really is. Dean explores the idea that the word “art” is used far too often and too habitually, and that as we study the non-Western cultures we need to use much more discretion regarding what we call the different pieces of their culture. Throughout the essay, Dean supports her thesis that we too often categorize non-Western pieces as art by using different examples of how certain non-art pieces were deemed as art throughout the course of their history. Dean does this by using four key examples of how these ancient pieces are inappropriately called art to successfully support her thesis and avoid biases.

Its focus, like the other pieces in the collection is a scene plucked from everyday life, romanticized and immortalized by its viewer. When collecting research about this image and its creator, I found that there was a wealth of material, but most of it was in French! I needed some serious help, so I utilized an extremely invaluable resource made available to us by our professor, Stephanie Foster. I interviewed one of the librarians at the Art Museum, Christine

Art is known to have impacted humankind as from time memorial. In many occasions when people wanted to pass the information, they were only using paintings to communicate. Many kingdoms were known to give information about their values and beliefs through paintings made on their walls. Most of the paintings use to speak a lot about the religion of the Kingdom, and sometimes romantic pictures were used to expound more on how such kingdoms were committed to taking care of individuals emotions.

Now, art could be anything that was done by an artist, as well as anything that has beauty, or that is made with the purpose of expressing emotion, or that has a certain composition, among many other criteria. In some cases, there could even be “accidental art”, for example a photograph taken at just the right moment, or anything that was not intended to be artistic but it is still perceived as such by many
