Many factors were needed to make as extravagant of a change in the world as the Renaissance. Though there were many factors, a few main ones were significant in the Renaissance. These included Literature, Art, and Education. Without these key factors improving during the beginning of the Renaissance, there may not have been a distinct era devoted to the Renaissance.

One of the factors was Developed and improved literature, with the invention of the printing press, the amount of literature increased (more novels and other books) as well as communication through literature (notices could be sent to other areas or other people using literature. ex. newspapers). Painting, sculpture, architecture became more advanced and in-depth, meaning artists began developing a knowledge for shading, proportion, and depth, making their art more realistic. During the renaissance education developed. Students began learning Greek and Latin in school, and looking at the ancient Greek and Roman ways. They started believing in the Vitruvian man, a perfectly proportional, well rounded man, who exceeded excellence at all forms of sports and art, and who was the centre of the universe.
