The Renaissance brought one of the major changes in the history of art. Every period has its own style, perhaps copied from another time, but has a new ingredient. The renaissance is no exception.
Renaissance literally means rebirth. Rebirth of knowledge. Rebirth of art. What we must understand is that the renaissance was a time for genii, many involved within the world of architecture, painting, sculpture, and more. Let us divide these into groups.
ArchitectureThe renaissance people started doing something completely different that was the main difference between them and the middle ages' people. They looked at their past, that is, at the architectural wonders of the Romans', Greeks' and other famous peoples. many admired buildings stand today, like the Colosseum and pantheon in Italy people as Brunelleschi ,da Vinci, Michelangelo and Raphael built things as though from the ancient time. Brunelleschi was known as the father of architecturebecause of his outstanding structural ideas on The Dome of Florence It still stands today.
Painting Paintings were not made for fun at those times. They were ordered to be made by patrons and were drawn for them by artists. the main change, however, that drastically changed the world, was PERSPECTIVE . The art of a third dimension was unbelievably real. Techniques of shadow, lighting, size, color, blurry effect, and other were ALL used in a painting. the father of perspective was called da Vinci, who was so enthusiastic about perspective he even created a device to help him with the vanishing point in drawings.
SculptureSculpting was changed because of the first free nude standing statues in a long time, and this shocked people greatly. Donatello's David created chaos, but soon after, many of the famous sculptures were carving and sculpting nude figures as well and the style caught on. one of the most memorable sculptor was Michelangelo, who could carve miracles from marble like the David.
All in all, we must admit that the renaissance led to great sculptures, buildings and paintings. There were many more changes in this period not just of art but of science, math and Biology. The rebirth of art was a miracle .
Please do not use this as your homework assignment if you are a kid because I worked on it and I deserve the credit.
The artists of the renaissance period started using perspective in their paintings and creating a 3 dimensional aspect to the work. The art works before this period were very flat, all the characters stood in the same plane and the backgrounds didn't converge to any point.

Renaissance art was European art. So they cannot be different.
The art in the Renaissance had shadowing, perspective, and was way more realistic than previous art.
In Northern European art renaissance, they a held a very strong tie to Gothic Art. Also the Italian art renaissance had a lot more freedom than the Northern European Art because of all the numerous Duchies and Republics which gave rise to a wealthy merchant class that spent time and money on art. While Italian art was surrounded by the idea of humans and their rational thinking, and with that they study/practice much humanism. arthistory.about.com/cs/arthistory10one/a/north_ren.htm
The art of the Italian and Northern Renaissance shared similar qualities, but also had its differences. As the Italian Renaissance focused more on a rebirth of classic Greco-Roman culture, the art of the time was based off of classical mythology and included famous classic philosophers. In Raphael's School of Athens, Aristotle and Plato are featured in the center of the school. On the contrary, the Northern Renaissance art was characterized by domestic interiors and portraits. Northern Renaissance artists, starting with Jan Van Eyck, began to use different mediums, such as oil paint, to create the art of the movement. The two different eras share a commonality in art through religious themes throughout the art. Christian religious stories and figures were the predominant artistic theme in both times.
Religious Images were not a major focus of Renaissance art as opposed to medieval art.
Renaissance art focuses on portraying the natural world as it actually is. Human figures have weight and dimension. Byzantine art is stylized, things are recognizable but not meant to duplicate what you see in real life. Human figures look a bit like paper dolls.
The Renaissance was a revival in thought after the Middle Ages. Renaissance Europe was fasinated with ancient Greek culture. That is reflected in art.
The Renaissance was important because it ushered in many changes, particularly in European art and culture. The Renaissance is generally understood to be the art, literature and culture accumulated in the 14th to 16th centuries.
