After visiting both the Medieval times and the Renaissance, I consider myself a
Renaissance person. I prefer the Renaissance over Medieval times because during the renaissance period people were not to concern with the church. The church was the reason the Christian world was divided into many religions. in the
Medieval times, people were competing against each other because of their different beliefs about the church and God. On the other hand, renaissance stressed the significance of the individual and the individual talent. in addition, while medieval scholars had studied ancient Greek and roman documents to learn about god and Christianity, renaissance scholars studied them to discover more about human nature.

In the renaissance period there was a more advanced technology. People had access to the printing press and other new inventions.

Another characteristic of the renaissance time I loved was, the fact that woman were being educated.

This must have been showing contrast to the torso to define the way they look to the outside world and how they thought the torso should look. Although I don’t think that there will ever be a perfect body due to the fact that everyone will have their own opinion and the world will always be changing so different figures will look better in different periods of time. Another example of this would be how in midevil times that if you was fat it was good it meant royalty and wealth, but now days if you are fat it is considered bad because of what is shown to the world. They find skinny people more attractive with the “idealized” body. There are many different cultures that have different meanings for their body parts such as Africans found that neck and the head was the most important body parts to them. Then with Leigh under the Skylight show full body pictures so this takes part of their character and the way they act for what is important to them. Then in other cultures in the South Pacific they had tattoos on their body to show life forces and ritual knowledge about the tribe or that person. Something meaningful to them would be the eye.
