  2. The Renaissance WHAT WAS THE RENAISSANCE? Renaissance means rebirth. The Renaissance was a time of discoveries and actions. People started to become interested in things such as the arts, literature and philosophy. They wanted to invent and discover new places and ideas. The Renaissance began in Florence in Italy around A.D. 1350 and continued until about A.D.1600. MICHELANGELO Michelangelo is famous for his paintings, sculptures, architecture and poetry. Some of his famous work pieces include David, The Creation of Adam, Pietà and many others. But his most famous project was the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel; he worked on that from 1508 until 1512. He used the center of the ceiling to paint the history of the Old Testament, from the bible.

  3. The Last Supper The renaissance brought about more light and colour into the artists work and self expression was more evident. People started to express their beliefs and opinions in their work. The depth and realism of the figures started to appear more and more through out the renaissance period. The way Christ is sitting (with his arms apart) symbolisesstability, equality, and permanence This painting shows the reactions after Jesus announced that one of the people sitting at the table would betray him

  4. The Mona Lisa is a famous piece of art, which was painted by a famous artist from the renaissance period. Mona Lisa

  5. The Reformation JOHN CALVIN 1509-1564 John Calvin and his followers believed that everything was controlled by god, the past, the present, and the future. He called this belief predestination. According to this theory, certain people were destined to heaven, while others were destined to hell. They believed that an individual couldn’t do anything to change their destiny. While others belief that peoples destiny's can be changed by their actions. WHAT WAS THE REFORMATION? The Reformation was a movement, which began in 1300 and continued until 1500. The Reformation began as a series of attempts to change the Roman Catholic Church but ended in the break up and creation of seven other Christian churches.

  6. HUMANIST VIEWS AND CHURCH TEACHINGS People that follow humanism put more importance on individual human actions, achievements, feelings, roles and responsibilities. They believe that people should think for themselves and make their own decisions. The church taught you to follow the bible. The church and through use of the bible, gave people rules that were expected to be followed. This may been seen as opposite to humanist views which encourage independent decision making.

  7. ANDREAS VESALIUS 1514-1564 The discoveries of Andreas Vesalius led to us knowing a lot more about the body then we had before. One of the many amazing things Andreas discovered was that a human breastbone is made of three segments when a physician Galen had said it is made up of seven. This discoveries along with others like this, helped scientists and other people improve and continue to develop knowledge on the human body. The Scientific Revolution WHAT WAS THE SCIENTIFIC REVOLUTION? The Scientific revolution was a time when people started to rebel against things they didn’t believe in. New theories were proved and discoveries were unveiled.

  11. NICOLAUS COPERNICUS 1473–1543 Nicolaus Copernicus was an astronomer; he developed the heliocentric theory of the solar system. The heliocentric theory shows that the Earth, moon and the other planets move around the Sun in a counter-clockwise movement. • WHAT WAS THE ENLIGHTENMENT? • The Enlightenment was a movement that happened in Europe in the 18th century. • The followers believed that reason not beliefs • should run societies. They also believe that authority should lead with tolerance not rule with dictation. Many of the people who supported the Enlightenment were philosophers. The Enlightenment

  12. THE PRINTING PRESS In 1440, German inventor Johannes Gutenberg invented a printing press process. This invention let people print a large number of copies for the first time. This invention was a huge milestone in the development of the printing technology we have today. The printing press was also a big part of developing books, without it authors would not be able to publish their books.

  13. Conclusion The period of time from the middle age through to today, had a huge impact on the modern world. It greatly effected religion, art, literacy, philosophy and many other things we use today. Without these inventions the world we live in today would be very different and probably not as advanced.
