They created many symbols such as square root Science Advances in mathematics led to advances in other fields of science. Engineers and architects, for example, used new mathematical formulas to design ways to strengthen buildings . • Other scientist wanted to know more about the sky and what was in it. They studied astronomy. They learned that the earth revolves around the sun! Cartography Cartography is map making. During the Renaissance, papermaking came from China and so did print!

10
Changes in Education Students continued to study religious subjects, but they learned about humanities as well. History was also becoming very important. The famous renaissance scholar Petrarch warned against ignoring history:
11
Petrarch Petrarch’s ideas would affect education for many years?
How do you think it affected education? THINK: What is Humanism? Did you know Petrarch is consider the founder of Humanism?
12
Break it Down “O inglorious age! That scorns antiquity, its mother, to whom it owes every noble art…What can be said in defense of men of education who ought not to be ignorant of anquity (ancient times) and yet are plunged in…darkness and delusion Petrarch, from a 1366 letter to Boccaccio
13
Humanism During the Middle Ages, most thinkers in Europe had devoted themselves to religious study. By the 1300s, scholars had begun to broaden their interests. They studied poetry, history, and art, and Greek and Latin languages. These subjects are known as humanities because it was the study of human activities rather than the physical world or the nature of God.
14
Humanism The study of humanities led to a movement called humanism.
Humanism is a way of thinking and learning that stresses the importance of human abilities and actions. The interest in humanities was linked to rediscovery of ancient writings and the history of past peoples. How can learning about history change the way we look at the world?
15
Humanism In the 1300s Turks conquered much of the Byzantine empire. Scholars seeking to escape the Turks fled to Italy. Many of the works they brought to Italy were ancient classical writings. Classical scholars began to rediscover the glories of the Greece and Rome. ……they longed for a renewal of classical culture Classical- ancient Greek or Rome
16
Humanism Renaissance artist and architects were also drawn to the past. Classical statues and ruins of ancient buildings still stood in Italy. They inspired painters and sculptors. The rise of Humanism during the Renaissance can be seen in paintings of the Renaissance. Let’s look at evidence in the paintings of the Renaissance…

What new styles of art developed?
Renaissance artists aimed to show what people really looked like and revealed people’s feelings. Artists studied the human body to learn how to draw it accurately Renaissance painters also used new methods that brought life, color, and action to their works. Artists used light, shadow, and perspective to carefully recreate the human form. Perspective - the way of showing people and things as they appear at different distances. How does this relate to the ideals of Humanism? Importance is put on the unique features of humans

The Painting https://mymodernmet
In 1495, Leonardo da Vinci was commissioned by Ludovico Sforza—the Duke of Milan and a longtime patron of the artist—to paint a 15 by 29-foot mural for the Dominican convent of Santa Maria delle Grazie in Milan as a part of a renovation project. Specifically, Sforza asked Leonardo to depict Jesus’ final meal as described in the Gospel of John in the New Testament of the bible. Like other depictions of this well-known event, Leonardo presented Jesus and his 12 apostles at a table celebrating Passover, a traditional Jewish holiday. Unlike similar works, however, Leonardo opted to illustrate the moment Jesus tells his followers that one of them will betray him, placing much of the painting’s focus on the figures’ individual expressive reactions.
