Today we started off class by defining the centuries and the early to high parts of the Renaissance. We defined that contemporary art in this period was deemed more modern and that humanism the study of human works etc was a form of art being used in this time. After defining a few terms we picked up with printing and its introduction to Italy in 1464. We broke down the period we were in to start understanding how the wart was handled and created being that artists were now starting to become known. We elaborate on merchants and bankers governing, the roles of the guilds, and the many associations such as Arte di Calimala. We shifted our session back to a contest held that was to see who would create the panel. The winner was Ghiberti, who led Burnechelli on to become an architect and create the Dome of Santa Maria del Fiore, the Ospedale degli Innocenti, and also figured out ratios. We then talked about how Donatello used the tiles on the floor as a starting point and a vanishing line. We then discussed how the illusions of his sculpture lead the audience to see movement and depth. We then broke down his linear perspective which created the perception of illusions.
