Harlem Renaissance: The Difference
hThe Renaissance in the 1300s was a time of new age, of new arts, and new attitudes. People have tried new art techniques, new styles. But this was not the only Renaissance. People remember this Renaissance, when there was also another, much later than this. Zooming into the future, the Harlem Renaissance started in the 1920's and ended at the 1930's. Although these are very similar, they have a lot of differences in their own styles in arts, fashion, and music.
The European Renaissance was a bit similar to the Harlem Renaissance in some length. They were both famous for it's new ideas. Both of them were after a "Dark Age". For the European Renaissance, it was afterthe Black Death and the Hundred Years' War. For the Harlem Renaissance, it was still during their Dark Age, the discrimination of African Americans. Also, they had their own influences from different people. For Europe, it was from the Silk roads that connected it from Asia to Europe, carrying caravan loads of new items and ideas. But the Harlem Renaissance artists used their roots, and looked to African designs for ideas.
They also have differences in their artwork. The European Renaissance, for example, used perspective to make their images more realistic. On the other hand, the Harlem Renaissance used oil, canvas, and pecils to make abstract art. Also, the Harlem Renaissance had newer music, likejazz, Blues, and the Blues Gospel. Th Renaissance only had classical music with the lute and other songs. All inall, there were many differences between the Harlem and European Renaissance, but they still had their similarities.
