Reflective Art Quiz - Reasonably Accurate
I fixed a few spelling errors, and tweaked the layout, because that's the kinda guy I am... Their assessment is reasonably accurate, though I didn't really choose too many pieces of artwork because I liked them - rather, I often had to choose the ones I disliked the least.
I have to say, thought; I'm actually considerably open-minded, providing other positions are at least as well researched or founded as my own. For topics, with which I have little-to-no foundation, I openly accept the ideas of others, until a better one comes along, or I can better research the topic and come to my own understanding. In general, I welcome informed and educated input, from others... Heck, I'm starving for it.
The biggest point of contention, regarding being progressive - I consider myself VERY progressive, and openly welcome genuine innovation. One shouldn't mistake someone who blindly falls for the newest fads, or recklessly abandons proven technology simply on the basis that it isn't new, as progressive. The age of an idea, concept or machination is irrelevant, to me. Function is paramount. IMO, that's a pretty sensible and progressive outlook.

The Renaissance was a cultural movement that profoundly affected European intellectual life. Beginning in Italy, and spreading to the rest of Europe by the 16th century, its influence affected literature, philosophy, religion, art, politics, science, and all other aspects of intellectual enquiry. Renaissance artists looked at the human aspect of life in their art. They did not reject religion but tended to look at it in it's purest form to create visions they thought depicted the ideals of religion. Painters of this time had their own style and created works based on morality, religion, and human nature. Many of the paintings depicted what they believed to be the corrupt nature of man.
People that like Renaissance paintings like things that are more challenging. They tend to have a high emotional stability. They also tend to be more conscientious then average. They have a basic understanding of human nature and therefore are not easily surprised by anything that people may do. They enjoy life and enjoy living. They are very aware of their own mortality but do not dwell on the end but what they are doing in the present. They enjoy learning, but may tend to be a bit more closed minded to new ideas as they feel that the viewpoint they have has been well researched and considered. These people are more old fashioned and not quite as progressive. They enjoy the finer things in life like comfort, a good meal, and homelife. They tend to be more spiritual or religious by nature. They are open to new aesthetic experiences.Take What Your Taste in Art Says About You Test.
