The painters of the Renaissance period are some of the best known and most important artists in history.The Italian Renaissance painters have greatly influenced subsequent periods in art.Can someone please edit, give advice or help me improve my thesis statement please?
What's childish about it? The first is just a simple statement of fact, the second adds the obvious, but ALL periods of art, music, science, whatever ';have greatly influenced susequent periods';., so why say it?





I'd go with the first one, except it's not a thesis statement. A thesis statement is a statement that defines your opinion, your belief, your thinking.





The painters of the Rennaissance period were--


--all idiots.


--all German


--all brilliant musicians as well as painters.


--all Catholics.


--all men.


-- whatever.





The thesis statement needs to tell the reader what you have discovered about them , not just state the obvious.
