Daisy Perez Art 102: Art History II June 28, 2016 Development of Gothic Cathedrals: Amiens and Beauvais Cathedrals The tallest Gothic cathedrals are located in France and their architecture has been incredibly appreciated. Gothic cathedrals were constructed during the late medieval period, where engineers were creating and building tall temples. During the creation of cathedrals, architectures started to have better constructions for creating and symbolizing the religion of Christianity. The Gothic

“I didn’t do it. I swear! It was those little kids. You may be wondering what I did. Why I was in a freezing cold dungeon, or possibly feeling bad for me. Well, I’ll tell you the whole thing.” I say. I was making my stew, the kind that I let the chicken bones sit in. I had no idea that two tiny demons were hiking up the hill by my house. “Just add some salt.” I mumbled to myself. CRUNCH! I peeked my head around the corner of my graham cracker wall and saw two kids (I assume they're eight or nine)

Before we start this final chapter, can you believe we’ve made it? Twenty chapters at twenty years old, and here comes number twenty-one. I believe there’s no better way to end this book than to declare, with boundless joy, the glory of God. When life gets good, glory can get in the way of things. Even as I finish this book, I wonder whom I will meet and help because of this. However, God’s Will for the last twenty-one chapters has everything to do with Him and little to do with me. It’s a battle

Topic 14. The Gothic cathedral developed in northern Europe in the 11th, 12th and 13th centuries. Compare and contrast the Gothic Cathedral in England and France using at least two examples from England (for example Salisbury Cathedral, Winchester Cathedral, Lincoln Cathedral and Ely Cathedral) and at least two examples from France (for example Chartres Cathedral, Notre Dame de Paris, Amiens Cathedral and Bourges Cathedral).

Art, the way that many cultures have expressed their ideals and culture through out time. Many artists from multiple cultures have arisen and created masterpieces of art: Everything from paintings, to massive architecture, and statues. The massive piece of art I will be focusing on today will be the Basilica of the Assumption of our Lady of Valencia or The Valencia Cathedral for short. This massive architecture shows a compelling example of Gothic art during this era. The cathedral first came

received 4 awards, which includes the 2 most prestigious literary awards in Japan: the Akutagawa Prize for his work White Men in 1955, and the Tanizaki Award, just one year after it had been established, for his most popular work Silence in 1966. Stained Glass Elegies, a compilation of 11

I forced myself to think about the priest’s Halloween sermon. It was during that sermon that I experienced my first vison. I was watching the red and blue colors of the stained glass window. In the window was a boatload of apostles. Suddenly, I felt that the fishermen were in need of assistance and found myself standing on the shore of a river in the woodlands near the church. An old fisherman in need of a haircut whittled a twig as he stood a few paces to my right. I tried to tell him that I feared

American Horror Story Evaluation When it comes to a show I always look for something lighthearted. In my opinion the best shows are the ones that are funny, a bit relatable, have great character development, and overall just uplift your spirits. Shows like this are hard to come by; there are some old ones that I’ve come to enjoy such as Friends and The Office, but lately I have yet to find a show that fits my normal preferences. I have spent months watching Friends over and over again, but that gets

There have been many memorable works of architecture in ancient history. So many, in fact, that it can sometimes be pretty overwhelming. It is always interesting to think about how much these individuals of the ancient world built given how behind they were compared to our lives today. In the big scheme of things, they were actually probably better off than we are today. One of the most admired and intricate works of architecture from the medieval French era is known as the Chartres Cathedral (AKA

For my site visit I went to St Thomas Aquinas Church, I went to the 7:30am service which is typically the least busy of their three Sunday services. I arrived around 7:25 and followed the cars in front of me who I assumed were also going to church into the back parking lot which looked pretty full for an early service.
