Answer:

Art and Christianity

Explanation:

During the Middle Ages, a period that took place between the fall of ancient Rome in 476 A.D. and the beginning of the 14th century, Europeans made few advances in science and art.

Also known as the “Dark Ages,” the era is often branded as a time of war, ignorance, famine and pandemics such as the Black Death.

Some historians, however, believe that such grim depictions of the Middle Ages were greatly exaggerated, though many agree that there was relatively little regard for ancient Greek and Roman philosophies and learning at the time.  

During the 14th century, a cultural movement called humanism began to gain momentum in Italy. Among its many principles, humanism promoted the idea that man was the center of his own universe, and people should embrace human achievements in education, classical arts, literature and science.

In 1450, the invention of the Gutenberg printing press allowed for improved communication throughout Europe and for ideas to spread more quickly.

As a result of this advance in communication, little-known texts from early humanist authors such as those by Francesco Petrarch and Giovanni Boccaccio, which promoted the renewal of traditional Greek and Roman culture and values, were printed and distributed to the masses.

Additionally, many scholars believe advances in international finance and trade impacted culture in Europe and set the stage for the Renaissance.

The Renaissance started in Florence, Italy, a place with a rich cultural history where wealthy citizens could afford to support budding artists.

Members of the powerful Medici family, which ruled Florence for more than 60 years, were famous backers of the movement.

Great Italian writers, artists, politicians and others declared that they were participating in an intellectual and artistic revolution that would be much different from what they experienced during the Dark Ages.

The movement first expanded to other Italian city-states, such as Venice, Milan, Bologna, Ferrara and Rome. Then, during the 15th century, Renaissance ideas spread from Italy to France and then throughout western and northern Europe.

Although other European countries experienced their Renaissance later than Italy, the impacts were still revolutionary.

Que lenguajes artisticos utilizarias<br><br> para realizar una obra de arte <br><br> colectiva?
vodomira [7]

La respuesta correcta para esta pregunta abierta es la siguiente.

Los lenguajes artísticos que utilizaría para realizar una obra de arte

colectiva serían, primero que nada los performances, exposiciones pictóricas públicas, bailes colectivos en instalaciones públicas como los Flashmob Europeos y norteamericanos, y los grafitis, autorizados por la municipalidad en bardas públicas.

El arte callejero o la representación artística urbana es un género valioso que refleja el sentir urbano del artista y puede hacer referencia a la problemática social de una comunidad.

El arte es un excelente vehículo para comunicar y transmitir ideas que puedan trascender dejando un mensaje social a los miembros de una comunidad. Como es colectiva, se requiere de la participación de un sinnúmero de artistas que aunque no todos pueden tener el mismo talento, sí tienen el entusiasmo de cooperar y sumar para ayudar.
