Romanesque
Romanesque architecture developed in Western Europe between the 10th and 12th centuries. It was influenced by earlier Roman and Byzantine styles, featuring semi-circular arches, barrel vaults, thick walls, and rounded arches. Romanesque architecture spread across Europe through the expansion of monastic orders like the Benedictines, pilgrimage routes, and the Crusades. Notable characteristics include the use of local materials like stone or brick, small windows, and ornamentation including carved animals and foliage. Example building types are churches, with thick walls and a basilica-style layout, as well as monasteries, castles, and fortified towns.
Byzantine architecture
The document discusses the history and architecture of the Byzantine Empire. It began as the Eastern Roman Empire with its capital in Constantinople. Byzantine architecture was characterized by massive domes, rounded arches, and extensive use of glass mosaics. The Greek cross plan became common for churches, with central domes supported by pendentives. Hagia Sophia, built in Constantinople in the 6th century, exemplified Byzantine architecture with its grand central dome suspended above the building.
Timeline of architecture
1. Architecture has evolved greatly over thousands of years, from early monumental structures like Stonehenge to modern postmodern styles.
2. Ancient civilizations like Egypt and Rome constructed massive buildings using classical orders that still influence design today.
3. Major styles emerged like Gothic with pointed arches and Renaissance with classical proportions, then Baroque with dramatic shapes before modern movements.
Egyptian architecture 1

It then outlines the three main periods of Egyptian rule: the Old, Middle, and New Kingdoms. Key developments included the Old Kingdom organizing a strong central state and building pyramids, the Middle Kingdom experiencing invasions and rebellions, and the New Kingdom expanding Egyptian rule. The document also summarizes Egyptian religious beliefs, architecture, and aspects of daily life like the class system.
Romanesque Writing Works
Romanesque art developed during the 11th-12th centuries along pilgrimage routes and trade routes in Europe. Key characteristics included large heavy churches with barrel or groin vaults to represent Jerusalem, and religious sculpture and paintings depicting salvation and damnation with elongated figures and distorted proportions. Major examples discussed are the cathedrals of Saint-Sernin in Toulouse with identical bays, Pisa with its arcade façade and campanile, Durham with early rib vaults, and sculptures by Gislebertus at Autun and Wiligelmo at Modena Cathedral.
Early Christian Architecture
The document provides an overview of early Christian architecture from approximately 300-600 AD. It discusses the influences of declining Rome, military strongholds, castles, and monasteries. Early Christian architecture in Rome was influenced by existing Roman styles but adapted based on geographical location. Churches were modeled after Roman basilicas and often reused materials from pagan temples. Typical features included a nave with side aisles, an entrance hall or narthex, and an apse where the bishop's throne and altar were located.
Islamic art and byzantine art
The document provides information about Islamic art and Byzantine art. It discusses key characteristics of each style including calligraphy being a fundamental element of Islamic art, with over 100 styles of Arabic calligraphy. Byzantine art is described as having flattened, symbolic spaces with elongated proportions and emphasis on eyes. The document also provides details about iconic buildings representing each style, including the Blue Mosque as an example of Islamic architecture featuring six minarets, and Hagia Sophia in Istanbul as a prime example of Byzantine architecture.
Early Christian Art
Early Christian art developed between the 3rd and 7th centuries CE as Christianity established itself apart from Judaism. Key art forms included sculptures, carvings, wall paintings and architecture like basilicas. Notable works included the 4th century Basilica of St. John Lateran in Rome, which served ceremonial purposes, and the 5th century Sarcophagus of Junius Bassus, featuring a relief carving of Saint Michael. Symbols like anchors, fish and the Chi-Rho signified Christian meanings and beliefs. Mosaics and frescoes depicted biblical themes like the Good Shepherd to convey God's love and care for humanity. Many artists during this period remain unknown.

Element of Art - Line
There are five main types of lines: vertical, horizontal, diagonal, curved, and zig-zag. Each type of line conveys a different feeling or appearance. Vertical lines suggest height and extend upwards towards the sky. Horizontal lines indicate rest or repose as objects parallel to the earth are at rest. Diagonal lines portray movement as objects in a diagonal position feel unstable. Curved lines can depict energy as soft, shallow curves resemble the human body. Zig-zag lines, formed from diagonal lines connected at each point, are capable of showing action and excitement.
Element of Art - Shape 2

Organic shapes are more free-form shapes found in nature like leaves or raindrops. The document instructs students to create a piece of artwork using both geometric and organic shapes by overlapping them with markers and paint. Tips are provided on using color, staying in lines, and including a variety of shapes.
Element of Art - Value
Value refers to the lightness and darkness of a color, which is achieved through shading techniques like stippling, hatching, cross-hatching, and blending. Value scales can be used for shading practice and to determine if the correct values are used in an artwork. Good art incorporates a variety of values, ranging from black to white. The document discusses value and provides examples of common shading techniques.
