Peace, trascendance, happiness, and many other different emotions and ideas are experienced when we observe these beautiful churches, these imponent yet protecting and inspiring buildings.
They are more than just buildings, and that is the reason they are still in our world being part of our history of our identity.
Today I am offering you two wonderful pictures, it was hard to choose, because none of the pictures that I could found get any close to the beauty of these constructions, so please, before posting make sure you visit many websites, look at many different books so you can appreciate different perspectives of each church.
Im just giving you a couple of hints... one is in Istanbul, it used to be in Constantinopla. The other one.... in Paris.
One is Catholic, the other is Orthodox. One is still a church, you can actually go to mass there, the other is nowadays a museum.
So, what do you have to do?
RESEARCH and POSTING.
You need to include the following:
Select one of the churches.
Offer to us, particular information on architecture or the visual arts inside or outside the church (you need to define the term you are explaining) and explain to us exactly where in the building we can see it).
Offer to us, particular information on the building history or context.
Tell us your opinion.
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU DO NOT REPEAT INFORMATION THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN PROVIDED BY ONE OF YOUR CLASSMATES.
Please INCLUDE pictures whenever it is necessary.
Due: Friday night.
Enjoy this exercise!

ReplyDeleteThe Gothic architecture is the artistic form on which there was formed(trained) the definition of the Gothic art, the artistic style understood between the Romanesque one and the renaissance The Gothic architecture put special emphasis in the structural lightness and the lighting of the ships of the interior of the buildings developed fundamentally in the religious architecture
Both structural basic elements of the Gothic architecture are the pointed or ogival arch and the vault of crucería, that allow a better distribution of the loads and a very top height.
My I like to me mas this cathedral for which it seemed to me to be magnificent in his structure is a building that shows greatness and something of mystery, is like a divine creation that investor shows himself and that includes elements of the Gothic architecture as the pointed arch and the vault of crucería
