What is the Industrial revolution? How did it affect the art?

The industrial revolution began in Great Britain around the mid 1700's. Before the industrial revolution families would make the stuff that they need in their own homes. The industrial revolution was not all negative stuff but also positive things. In the year 1760 was when there were alot of things being invented. For example in the year 1764 this English man James Hargreaves invents the spinning Jenny this invention was really helpful because it speed up the the thread production.

Well in my opinion the way that the industrial revolution affected the art was that people started seeing all the things that were going on and the stuff that were being invented and they had more ideas of what to draw and what ever was drawn it was new for people so the people that were able to afford the paintings bought them because they thought they were so interesting.
