It's probably important to have realistic interpretation because then the artist's audience can actually relate to it. The role of the artist has change ( if any) may have been the fact that now not only do they speak for themselves, their art now expresses other people's feelings too that can not express on their own.
Srry I want to answer but I’m in fourth grade so yas
Ancient greek and roman arts were very impactful during the early renaissance. The ancient romans had made murals of broken glass and they called them Mosaics, they also had ivory works, metal workings ( jewelry,swords,etc.). Greeks were famous for textiles and their paintings.
Well art is a way to express your self so if people are critiques about it then they may not understand it. So if I were in there shoes I'd feel kinda wouldn't care because it's my artwork about my emotions :) hope I helped ya
