In the 1600s England had a subsistance farming industry. This is farming that of what your family only needs. Then there was an enclosure movement. England had common grounds - ground that was owned by everyone. They fenced common grounds off during the movement. The citizens who had small families and grounds had grounds taken from them and it was given to larger farm owners. Now they were tennant farmers. Those who couldn't were forced to move elsewhere. New methods of farming were found and more crops were grown. They looked for efficiency.
Jethro Toll was concerned about the amount of seed that was being wasted by hand seeding. He invented the seed drill. They were planted in straight rows. Crop rotation. Crops are rotated every year to obtain new nutrients. Wooden plow to metal. Interchangeble plow.
Cities had larger populations because of the search of work. There isn't any work. Great Britain is now the industrial revolution leader. They had the natural resources. Coal and iron ore.
Natural resource, land, and labor were the factors of production.
Another natural resource was water. Food, transportation, and power came from this.
The disadvantages were flooding and drought. The textile (clothing) industry boomed. Clothes were sewed by hand until mechanics.
The thread loom turned string into cloth. The advance happened quickly.
Steam engines are being invented. Factories and boats and locomotives are created.
Communication and transportation are faster.

Artemisia Gentileschi was born in Rome on 8 July 1593, the eldest child of the Tuscan painter Orazio Gentileschi. Artemisia was introduced to painting in her father's workshop, showing much more talent than her brothers, who worked alongside her. Orazio was a great encouragement to his daughter since, during the 17th century, women were considered not to have the intelligence to work.
She was raped, which strongly influenced her paintings to pour out her pain.
She was the most important woman painter of Early Modern Europe by virtue of the excellence of her work, the originality of her treatment of traditional subjects, and the number of her paintings that have survived. She was both praised and disdained by contemporary critical opinion, recognized as having genius, yet seen as monstrous because she was a woman exercising a creative talent thought to be exclusively male. she "has suffered a scholarly neglect that is almost unthinkable for an artist of her caliber."

Leonardo De Vinci
My name is Leonardo De Vinci. I am a painter, a sculptor, an architect, and an engineer. My numerous skills had earned me the title “Renaissance Master.” I had a fascination with science and in-depth study of human anatomy that aided me in mastering the realist art form. I tried to incorporate movement and expression in my paintings. My works are said to be painted with great accuracy and detail that it is sometimes said that I painted from the bones outward. I lived until the age of 67. Though I was celebrated, I was also humiliated and cast away. My paintings never left the sketchpad, or were only partially completed, as I often abandoned my commissions in order to flee from social situations. Some of my works that you may have seen are The Last Supper and Mona Lisa. When I was 15, I had already mastered skills in the fine arts and I was sent to Florence to work as an apprentice in the renowned workshop of Andrea Del Verrocchio. I worked with him until 1477. In 1472, I still worked with Verrocchio and was honored as being accepted to the painter’s guild of Florence. I worked independently until 1481. I was assigned two projects, but I abandoned one of them as I moved to Milan. While my career was taking flight, my reputation was damaged in 1481 when I was charged with sodomy. In 1516, the king of France invited me to work for him, and on May 2 of 1519, I died from something that is unknown to all.
