Cosmology And Belief: Video Analysis

When I visited again I gained much more fascination from the site. The area of Collinsville that the site lies in has not much more than a few fast food restaurants and some gas stations. I first arrived at Monk’s Mound and was amazed by the sheer size of the man-made structure. I assumed the mound had eroded over knowing that the mound was so old which would make it even taller during the time it was erected. When I climbed to the top, I could see the metropolitan area of St. Louis Missouri. Being on top of the mound gave the feeling of governing a civilization. I could see many of the other mounds and the people walking to and from the parking lot to make the same journey that I did to be on top of Monk’s Mound. I expected the area surrounding the site to look better than it did. As the mock chief that I was for fifteen minutes, I did not know how to feel about an automotive repair shop at the base of my mound. This simply shows how close the local community today has come to live hand in hand with a World Heritage

Section one gives examples of art within the scriptures. This art includes things such as the patterns and details of the tabernacle and the temple, King Solomon’s throne, Jesus’ use of art, the poetry and music of David, other music, drama and dance. Schaeffer concludes section one with a discussion on the art detailed in the descriptions of Heaven.

Religion has played a huge role in the history of the world of architecture. We can get a deeper look in the minds and attitudes of people when we look at their beliefs – specifically their religion. But even though religion played a huge role in the approach to architecture, the pursuit of beauty and power can also explain to us the approaches and the outlooks of those who built or designed buildings from the ancient world.

The next important technique used is logos because of all the facts in this video. The very first fact shown is “Every single hour in BC, an animal is violently abused” (BC SPCA) this makes people think of how many animals actually get hurt so often and angers them. The other fact shown is “Every day, innocent animals are abused, beaten, and neglected; and they are calling out for help.” (Sarah McLachlan) is one of the strongest facts in this video because it is so real and it

Lascaux Cave and Stonehenge are both prehistoric pieces of artwork that reflect the values and beliefs of their respective time periods. They both have ties to astronomy, with the former depicting constellations in the form of animals and the latter being aligned to the Sun’s solstitial axis. But the main similarity between the two is the fact that they served a higher purpose than simply being art. They both had a function and meant something to the cultures that built them. They are both highly influential pieces of art that inspired many generations of people.

Celebrated on October 31st, the festival of Halloween (also known as Samhain) includes dressing in costume, trick or treating, and decorating. Tracing back in history Halloween is considered to be one of America’s oldest holidays, and is still celebrated today. Halloween is believed to come from Celtic rituals. Celtics believed the cosmological myth of Saman (Lord of the Dead). Saman would call on the souls of the people that passed away that year to take them to the afterlife or underworld; the Celtic underworld identifies with the Christian Hell. In order for the spirits to believe they were on their own, the living would wear costumes and mask their identities, along with fairies, witches and demons. This functions as a cosmological myth because it provides a creation story and framework in which this universe occupies and includes many other realms of existence. Another tradition that followed was to give food to the Saman, to persuade him to be more tolerant while he judged the dead ancestors of the living, which he would chose to take to the underworld. In this essay I will further investigate what the origins of Halloween consist of and how it offers reasoning for trick-or-treating. Also I will examine how trick-or-treating, which is still continued today, is connected to ancient Celtic festivals.

This artifact permits the audience to visualize how names are made for our appeasement. The several names and nicknames for Jesus Christ, allow us to see how we put forth several identities to one individual. Cultures throughout our civilization have established several contrasting religions. For years we had argued for the identity of the genuine holy one. Atrocious battles and conflicts have taken place, and continue to take place. Incidents such as the 9/11 bombing are solely based on our different perceptions of what we believe God is. Society has been appalled by these occurrences, and we struggle to find a resolution to this problem. Our society yields to see that everything starts little and gradually blossoms to mass termination. This

noticed. By sharing a purpose, both structures act as a shrine for different religions to reach God.

This book is based on Christianity and how the religion was viewed through images. The text has an ere of concepts that ties in the concepts of Christians to the beginning of the start of Christianity. The purpose of this book is to show the readers the difference between how Christian art was represented and how other art was portrayed. I will be giving an overview of what Christianity represents and the art work that it includes.

The cosmological argument is an a posteriori argument which intends to prove that there is an intelligent being that exists; the being is distinct from the universe, explains the existence of the universe, and is omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent and omnibenevolent. The basic notion of cosmological arguments is that the world and everything in it is dependent on something other than itself for its existence. It explains that everything has a cause, that there must have been a first cause, and that this first cause was itself uncaused.

For my first assignment, I attended Eric Souther who spoke at Ball State University January 18, 2018. Eric Souther is a video and new media artist. In 2016, Eric won the Juried Award for Time-Based, he received his M.F.A in Electronic Integrated Arts from Alfred University, and is currently an Associate Professor of New Media at Indiana University South Bend. Some of his projects that he talked about were Projection Buddha, Search Engine Vision "Chair", Search Engine Vision "Christ", Search Engine Vision "ISIS", and his newest project Agentive Matter. Eric's presentation was about how he views media as ritual and how ritualistic practice have informed his work. He started off his presentation talking about his first project which was the Digital Mandala which was 8,000 pictures of

The subject of religion has captured the attention of artists for centuries, working its way throughout the years, in and out of various of styles and movements. The artists of this era often found themselves reliant on this subject matter due to Churches being a steady Patron throughout the Renaissance all the way to the Baroque period. Whether it was because of the rich cultural impact to society or the enforcement of strong divine beliefs, depicting biblical narratives have struck an everlasting cord within this medium. Two particular ones, in fact: The Deposition from the Cross (Entombment of Christ) by Jacopo Pontormo and The Entombment of Christ by Michelangelo Caravaggio. Both of which provide an excellent example of how culture and artistic style combined can alter the message of the same iconic scene and still evoke different emotions.

Vivid images, from visions, to detailed explanation and accounts of places and events, to symbolic imagery used to explain parables, or teach and encourage the first century churches are driving forces within the Biblical text. Metaphorical language, by virtue of the fact that it preserves the literal meaning of the symbol, while intending an analogical secondary meaning, is able to communicate profound truths about reality, mainly by creating an alternative, symbolic way of seeing and understanding the world. (Liubinskas, Susann. 404) Throughout the New Testament of the Bible the most commonly used images are the: body of Christ, and vine imagery. These images work together to create a powerful example of the necessity for unity among individual believers, and that unity tying them Christ.

Certain buildings are naturally anchored to the ground and their surroundings. There are certain places that are impossible to picture without the
