Answer:

Renaissance art is marked by a gradual shift from the abstract forms of the medieval era to the representational forms of around the 15th or 16th century. It has mostly evolved from from biblical religious meanings to portraits, historical relevant episodes/historic paintings.

Renaissance art is often divided up into two periods:

Early Renaissance (1400-1479) - Artists learned by trying to emulate classical artists focusing on symmetry and creating the perfect form. This era featured such artists as Giotto, Masaccio, and Donatello.

High Renaissance (1475-1525) - A rising interest in perspective and space gave art even more realism. Great artists such as Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and Rafael flourished during this period.

Changes in the subject:

Realism- One of the big changes in art was to paint and sculpt subjects realistically. This is called realism and involves a number of techniques that make the subjects and background look like they would in real life. This also meant giving the subjects more emotional qualities.

New Techniques and Styles:

Perspective - perspective is drawing or painting a picture such that it looks like there are three dimensions. It gives the illusion that some objects in the painting are further away than others.
Balance and Proportion - Drawing subjects such that they are the correct size when compared to each other.
Use of Light and Dark - Many artists started using light and shadows in their works to add drama, perspective, and timing to their art.
Sfumato - This was a technique used by Leonardo da Vinci to add additional perspective and dimension to paintings. It was a way of blurring the lines between subjects. This technique was used in Leonardo's Mona Lisa.
