In what ways did renaissance art differ from earlier periods? how does this reflect the ideals of the renaissance?

Renaissance art used more developed techniques like shading and a better understanding of color theory to bring paintings to life. Many artists like leonardo da vinci and michael angelo also implemented their knowledge of human anatomy to better achieve a more realistic approach to art. I guess this reflects the ideals of the time period since they wanted a new change from the lifeless 2D paintings that had existed previously to a more 3 D perspective. Hope this helps.

Ithink the men do it because the women work very hard, especially during childbirth. as for whether textiles are a "female-only" art, certainly not! there is no such thing as a job the other gender can't do (pardon my bluntness).
