week 6: The Christian Art
The christian art was bloom in the near origin of Christianity, the faith of the christian made them to create a big churches to pray for there God. Medieval art in Europe grew out of the artistic heritage of the Roman Empire and the iconography traditions of the early Christian church. art evolves as humans continue addressing the traditional and the new, including Biblical subjects, Christian dogma, and Classical mythology.The oldest examples of Christian art survive in the Roman catacombs, or burial crypts beneath the city. By 350 AD, the Church had two power centers, Rome in the West and Constantinople (the capital of the Byzantine Empire) in the East. Most of the art was like in the ancient Greece where the stories is painted in the vase of in the sculpture, in the christian art the life of Jesus Christ and the story on the bible is mostly painted on the wall or carved in the stone.
Primary media in the Gothic period included sculpture, panel painting, stained glass, fresco and illuminated manuscript. The easily recognisable shifts in architecture from Romanesque to Gothic, and Gothic to Renaissance styles, are typically used to define the periods in art in all media, although in many ways figurative art developed at a different pace.
I don't think it this era has gradually affected the way the style i used on painting and in creating the design in my art work. but on how idealism was implied was the same for me.
