There were three major changes that took place between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance era- “the evolving role of the artist from craftsman to independent artist; a more widespread incorporation of secular subjects into works of art, particularly mythological subjects; and the development of individual artistic styles and techniques”. Artists, writers, musicians and composers began creating work outside of the church. Artists signed their work and authors wrote autobiographies and memoirs, in other words, stories about themselves. The values and ideals popular during the European Renaissance can be described by the term secular humanism:

Still another reason for the complexity of the word ‘culture’ is the fact that the range of contexts in which the vocabulary now figures has multiplied extraordinarily in recent years. Today there are all sorts of different cultures that represent different traditions and rituals, for example there are High culture, Folk culture, Mass culture, et cetera.

The wars brought in industrial and social changes, and created acceptance of cultural , once unthinkable. People used styles and materials drawn from other cultures and locations, and western dress styles for men were adopted worldwide. The impact of World War I had a paralysing effect on fashion and gave way for the demise of the corset. A corset is a garment worn to hold and shape the torso into a desired shape for aesthetic or medical purpose.
Impressionism and Post-Impressionism An Analysis and Critique of Impressionism and Post-Impressionism Rachael Polston Western Governors University January, 2011 Impressionism and Post-Impressionism An Analysis and Critique of Impressionism and Post-Impressionism Impressionism and Post-Impressionism were two artistic movements that began late in the 19th century and ended during the beginning of the 20th century. The Impressionism era brought about new subject matter and techniques that were criticized for many years. However, it eventually became as authoritative as the traditions it replaced, bringing with it many great masterpieces that inspired future generations many years later.

How Interculteral Theatre has Benefited the Development of Civilization To truly form an opinion of intercultural theatre, one must first understand its initial concept. “Intercultural performance in general refers to performance/theatre that consciously and intentionally incorporates elements of performing traditions from disparate cultures as an approach to artistic creation. Text, language, performing technique, and casting and staging conventions may be taken out of their original contexts for inventive exploration” (Durepos, Mills, Weibe, 2010). Although this seems to be a modern concept, intercultural theatre has been practiced around the world for thousands of years and has helped to develop the way in which we present performances today. Throughout the Far East ancient civilizations would communicate and negotiate their trade through performance.
Abstract The purpose of the module two case study is to write a two to three page narrative essay on how the artists paintings reflects the culture and ideology of the Baroque Era. Baroque Era The Baroque is a period of artistic style that used exaggerated motion and clear, easily interpreted detail to produce drama, tension, exuberance, and grandeur in sculpture, painting, architecture, literature, dance and music.
