Contrast in art refers to color, shade, texture, etc that is different from each other. For example, if you have very light areas and then very dark areas, or very little color on a piece except a portion that is bright with color, or very little detail and then a focus area that is very detailed, they are said to be in contrast of each other. On a 3D piece such as a carving or clay sculpture, contrast can be the difference between shallow dips and ridges and deeper/higher ones, or it can be the difference between textures.
If you play around with graphics art editor software, the more contrast you have, the brighter the brights and the darker the darks. The higher the setting, the less subtle differences you have between the lights and the darks in an image, until all you have is white and black.

What is the definition of dominance in fine art?
Dominance is not Prominence or Contrast. Dominance has to do with how much area is covered by the characteristics of Shape, Direction, Color, Color, Value, Texture and Size. For example, a painting may have a gray dominance, but hold a bright, saturated color for contrast to hold the eye at the center of interest. Dominance is necessary for contrast and unity and is achieved through repetition and/or size. For a painting to have "Shape Dominance" one need only look at the character of the shapes which overwhelm the picture space, be they geometric, or organic. While unity is the goal to achieve in a painting (or novel, or poem, or music) a dominant theme must be present, which lends itself to the outcome in overall mood (or emotional content) of the art.
Renaissance art tried to show people and objects as they would appear in life?
No, that was impressionist art in the late 1800's early 1900's. Renaissance art was more symbolic and had religious themes and classical landscapes. They often tried to copy or reproduce classic Greek and Roman art, but with more perspective and movement within the art. The items placed within a Renaissance painting gave information about the subject and the viewer knew what they meant by the relationship with the main subject. There was also the use of glazes and the fleshy tones used by the painter.
