ART-Learning Journal Unit 4

Learning Journal Unit 4 The Greco-Roman era in the Classical period had a significant influence on much of the art created during the Renaissance. The pattern is clear, particularly in Florence, which is close to many of the Classical ruins. Thus, during the 1700s, a variety of factors that were accessible to artists and patrons may be noticed in their works. Classical art not only inspired that era through other mediums besides art, but it also spread into modern times. As we can see from this week's study material, many patrons and artists during the Renaissance and Baroque periods put a great deal of time and effort into learning about how the human body functions. This rekindled interest in both the intellectual and physical conceptions of the natural world. Greco- Roman painters were greatly influenced by the human body's many functional components, such as the bones and muscles, which is especially evident in their depictions of humans in sculptures and paintings. Artists ran with this concept, gaining insight and being motivated to pick up new technical and scientific skills. From the 1400s until the 1700s, many artists considered the use of paint, straight lines, and ideal forms to be the ideal sort of art.

Many of the churches constructed during the Renaissance, Baroque, and Rococo periods are still standing, which serves as inspiration for contemporary artists and architects when creating diverse designs for structures and works of art. In addition, several structures, including the White House, have architectural elements like the columns at the front entryway that were inspired by Greco-Roman architecture. Due to its distinct style, form, and purpose, domes and arches are still frequently employed in architectural designs. References e BBC. (n.d.). Classic good looks: Our debt to the ancient greeks.
