The idea obviously didn't just jump into everyone's heads, but it grew into the minds of others, slowly. After the doubts of their religion and logic coming into play, it was only natural for the people to be curious. This caused artists to dig deeper, research and even dissect dead bodies, but this lead to accuracy and refined art. It even lead to scientific discoveries. Over time the popularity of the human form grew even into religious art.

Most people were not aware that this movement was happening but if they were, they were intrigued. They accepted the new idea of humanism and wanted to live their life how they wanted instead of for religion.

Most of the time, art was ridiculed by the church, or frowned upon, for its sinful ways. What influenced this negativity was its vulgar subject matter and what had been done in order to achieve it, such as dissection. However, there were some exceptions such as Michelangelo. Michelangelo was adored by the pope, for he did a lot of biblical art, such as the famous Sistine Chapel ceiling, making him a beloved artist for faith.

Nowadays, people may not look back onto the Renaissance and think that what we have as a culture could possibly have been because of that time and its “rebirth”, but I think we should thank the people of that time. When it comes to art and the human form, people began to experiment with many things, such as poses, and anatomical accuracy. When it came to drawing the human, most of the time they were in an abnormal position that no one would ever do in their daily life, and would most likely be naked, and for good reason. This was a breakthrough in expression and new technique. To perfect it, artists began to dissect people, and document their findings in order to learn more both from an artistic and scientific perspective. Fast forward to the present, and we see all of this every day, now more than ever. From the human form being accepted back then, we are able to express ourselves in a secular way through something such as fashion. Models and most clothing these days are very revealing and are an artistic way of showing the human form. Another way this helped the present day, was breaking the barrier of trying to figure out what makes the human being, tick. This could have possibly evolved into nowadays science and how we know the body today. All artists had to do was express themselves and be curious enough to do what was considered the “impossible”.

During the Renaissance, art transitioned from focusing on religion to focusing on the human form. Artists became more aware and curious about the world of art and how they could make it better. This had a large impact on its time. The people who were seeing the art began to realize that religion wasn't the only way of life. This change in art brought about the idea of humanism, the reaction to Botticelli's creations was that of others trying to find a religious meaning within the mythological topic. Slowly, however, even this will fade as the Mannerism (late renaissance art) style develops. Humanism also inspired people to believe that their life was meaningful and that they were capable of more than just serving God.

During the Renaissance, people paid more attention to the human body. During the Middle Ages, the only thing people tried to portray in their art was religion. People were not drawn to perspective and were drawn to be flat and 2-D. Christianity required no images of naked divinities, and new attitudes cast doubt on nude athletics, public bathing, and the very value of the human body. During the middle ages, it was a sin to portray the human body as being nude. The early Christian emphasis on chastity and celibacy further discounted depictions of nakedness. This changed in the middle ages when people focused more on the human form. People paid attention to what the human body actually looked like and started to focus less on religion in the art. People of the Renaissance became more curious. They started to experiment with the human physique and began to draw people in weird positions.

In his early teens until his near adulthood, Michelangelo had participated in dissections. After many diagrams of the human body were created,, he worked with writers for scientific drawings and books of the human body. Shortly after this he was treated for arthritis and kidney stones, which he also documented into his notes for further study.

Leonardo was a huge inspiration to the dissecting aspect of The Renaissance. This first started near the early 1500’s when he watched a 100 year old man die, dissecting him shortly after.
