What I am asking is some one to expain this to me cause I do not under stand what she wants

The seventeenth and eighteenth centuries saw an increase in scientific and philosophic advances. Both the Baroque and Rococo styles reflect these changing times, although the Rococo style is much less religiously oriented than Baroque. These styles were also characterized with more color and more emotion than previous styles, especially in Baroque, where violent scenes are not uncommon. There are, however, differences in the two styles.

The Baroque style reflects the times. As advances swept the world, people began to be less and less devoted to God. Subjects became less and less religious in nature. For instance, Vermeer's The Geographer shows a scientist. Other subjects included soldiers, self portraits (as Rembrandt painted) and scenes of classical gods and goddesses. There were religious paintings, however. Peter Paul Rubens painted The Raising of the Cross at this time. Bernini's sculpture The Ecstacy of St. Teresa depicted a religious theme. This was the result of the Inquisition and the Catholic church's attempt to retain it's vast influence in the face of burgeoning scientific advances that directly contradicted some of the church's teachings.

In Rococo art, however, there are almost no religious subjects. While some churches were decorated and built in the Rococo style, there is almost no evidence of religion in painting. This, too, is a reflection of the times. Rococo was in vogue during the eighteenth century, known as The Age of Enlightenment. Divine right of kings was generally disestablished, and secularism and rationalism prevailed. Rococo art was on a whole more frivolous and optimistic than Baroque art. Watteau's Pilgrimage to Cythera
Portrays of the day aristocracy in a scene from classical mythology. This piece is imbued with more grace than, say, Ruisdael's Extensive Landscape With Ruins. The landscape in Pilgrimage is also less realistic. It is more fanciful, as opposed to the stark realistic quality of Extensive Landscape. The frivolity of the times is evident in Fragonard’s The Swing. There is no frolicking in Baroque art. The closest thing to it is Leyster's The Last Drop, and that's not really a frolic.

Rococo style also reflects the satirical bent of the times. Hogarth's series of paintings, Marriage a la Mode captures this humor. It is wholly unlike the Baroque view of life. Rococo art finds humor in life, and makes fun of it. This is stark contrast with the Baroque concept of vanitas. In Baroque art life is fleeting, empty and futile. The artists of the Rococo period painted life that was exuberant and enjoyable.

Right paper

Baroque and Rococo Art
Baroque - A movement in European painting around the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, characterized by violent movement, strong emotion, and dramatic lighting and coloring. Bernini, Caravaggio and Rubens were among the important baroque artists.

Rococo - An eighteenth century European style, originating in France. In reaction to the grandeur and massiveness of the baroque, rococo employed refined, elegant, highly decorative forms.

I would think it would depend on the Artist. There are two types of artists. The ones who creates their art based on realistic ideas and the things happening in their surroundings for them Social, Political or economic changes might change their art and even their base of artistic thinking. Artists can be influenced by the things you mentioned, but not the actual art itself. But only the artist really knows the meaning of what he has created. But there are some artist who just creates their arts based on their thoughts and their deep meanings they have of there life which would not change with social, Political or economic changes. Others can interpret the meaning, but that doesn't mean its right. But everyone has a different like or dislike of certain arts, be it on canvas or stone or theater etc.
Beauty is in the "eyes" of the beholder.
The dark dramatic paintings of Caravaggio and the classical frescoes of Annibale Carracci started around 1600 witch was called the baroque period in the Farnese palace. Emphasized classicism while the other light and dark stylistically Rembrandt and Ruben are not in the same category because of their distant styles.
“However, there is an idea that connects all these disparate styles together theatricality. Whether the drama is created by the use of intense lights and darks or by the use melodramatic scenes in stage-like settings, all Baroque art is dramatic. (Alexandra, 2003)
‘Certain themes were popular with certain groups of artists. As the 17th century wained, Baroque art became "more so," that is, it became ever more theatrical. The late 17th century it shows the Archangel Michael defeating Satan and his minions. The drama is there in the dark, bright, shining archangel. This is the epitomy of Baroque art, in all aspects. Giordano uses both melodrama and light and dark to emphasize the image's theatricality. 18th century would see the rise of Rococo. (Alexandra, 2003)
“Where Baroque art is dramatic in an attempt to pull the viewer into the experience as it is portrayed, Rococo is dramatic. Rococo Italian art of the 18th century is still more Baroque than Rococo. Overall, the Rococo is not seen much in painting. The French were the supreme creators of Rococo, and that is why the most famous Rococo painter was French. To see true Rococo, one must look at architecture, where the decorative aspects of Rococo. (Alexandra, 2003)
