7 0

Born in 1863, Henry Ford was the first surviving son of William and Mary Ford, who owned a prosperous farm in Dearborn, Michigan. At 16, he left home for the nearby city of Detroit, where he found apprentice work as a machinist. He returned to Dearborn and work on the family farm after three years, but continued to operate and service steam engines and work occasional stints in Detroit factories. In 1888, he married Clara Bryant, who had grown up on a nearby farm.In the first several years of their marriage, Ford supported himself and his new wife by running a sawmill. In 1891, he returned with Clara to Detroit, where he was hired as an engineer for the Edison Illuminating Company. Rising quickly through the ranks, he was promoted to chief engineer two years later. Around the same time, Clara gave birth to the couple’s only son, Edsel Bryant Ford. On call 24 hours a day for his job at Edison, Ford spent his irregular hours on his efforts to build a gasoline-powered horseless carriage, or automobile. In 1896, he completed what he called the “Quadricycle,” which consisted of a light metal frame fitted with four bicycle wheels and powered by a two-cylinder, four-horsepower gasoline engine.

Compared with medival art a major theme in renaissance art was
bonufazy [111]

The correct answer is nature

In artistic terms, the Renaissance will succeed Gothic, and its main characteristic is its approach to Antiquity. But the aim of the Renaissance artist was not to copy the greatness and excellence of Classical art, but to match these creations.

During this period, artists (from the Fine Arts) are no longer considered mere artisans and are seen as intellectual men. This change in attitude towards the artist led to the collection of works of art, since everything that came out of the hands of a master was considered of great value.

There are also workshops, which will later lead to the creation of academies, and artists gain more freedom, functioning almost as entrepreneurs.

What makes an ordered society
Serhud [2]
An ordered society consist of a government that can control their people efficiently. One main issue that societies had in the early stages of the world was the fact that they would spread out so much that one ruler could not keep them all under control. Something else needed for an ordered society are laws that are fair for the people. If the laws are unfair and taxes are too high, people will revolt and the leader could get over thrown! Hope I helped My dude! GL <span />

Why did artists use pinhole cameras during the Renaissance? ( i would really appreciate it if someone could help me with this qu
mr_godi [17]
<span>The uses of the pinhole camera were not just restricted to research for different kinds of art and even science related stuff, but mostly for astronomy. Being one of the most sophisticated devices of the period, it made the task much easier, leading to more specific and precise research. It basically worked exactly like the human eye and is something just like tracing. On the whole, sure made life easier for those into such in depth researches. Though pinholes did give way to Polaroid later on.</span>
