Some art experts say that Renaissance art is to modern art what parents are to children. In other words, many of modern art’s basic ideas, such as perspective and the use of objects of focus, stem from the Renaissance masters. In this assignment, you will have the opportunity to compare a piece of art from the Renaissance to a piece of modern art. Your goal is to attempt to answer this question: What makes one piece of art modern and another not?
