Description
|
"You have just finished learning all about the Medieval time period. Now, imagine what it might have felt like to enter into a time when beautiful artwork was created and valued, sculptures and architecture, too. And what if people's creativity were at such an all time high that tools and objects for your use were created that had never existed before. How exciting this must have been. And what if new ideas and new ways of thinking started showing up, ways that challenged the ways of thinking that you were used to. How would you have dealt with that? And, what about the leaders of this new time period - what kind of role do you think they would play during the Renaissance? With exploration to new lands at an all time high, going where no man of the Renaissance had been before and using trade to bring back items no one had seen before, it was an exciting time period (kind of like exploring new planets is to us today)."
Question: 'Why is the Renaissance considered to be such an important time period in our history?'
