1. The invention of the printing press made communication, reading, and education accessible to all levels of society, not just the wealthy. It allowed people to be informed of events and new discoveries including politics, science and art. It was also monumental in the spread of Christianity, especially with the printing of the Gutenberg bible.
2. The advancements in the printing industry allow artists more freedom in their work. They can make small changes, as in colors or words, and alter their printed work more easily. Modernization also allows artists to create more copies of their work giving them greater circulation and visibility.
3. In some ways photocopy art does relate to the printing press. One similarity is that small changes can be made without having to create a new piece from scratch.
An advancement seen with the copier is that you can add depth and actual objects to your creation, while the press only allowed words and pictures done by cutting and etching.
