How did the change impact society at the time?
The change impacted the society at the time by how things began to change when it came to art, thinking, and also learning, For example, with art, perspective was a art form where things became 3 dimensional on a flat surface. Also, one dimensional art went to two dimensional art. The study of classical texts led to "humanism," a movement that focused on human potential and achievements. society also changed their way of living once society became "secular," where society was more worldly rather than spiritual.
How is that change evidenced in today's modern society?
The change is evidenced in today's modern society by how people are more open-minded to new changes in society. Such as art, and how it has transformed itself into all new kinds of aesthetic forms. In literature as well, we focus on the now more than back then, just like how The Renaissance created its society to be.
