Victoria and I will be your tour Guide. Today

3. St. Denis Cathedral
This Cathedral was built over the tomb of St. Denis
and was remade by Merovingah King. It was created
around year 500 and is located in Paris, France. As
you can see in the picture, this Cathedral has a lot of
circular shapes and the windows and its unique size
to it which I believe is the emphasis of this building.

6. Madonna and child
This piece of art was made by an artist
named Giotto. It was created between
1266-1337. There are many different
locations of this piece of art one of the
locations that is found is in San
Domenico, Siena. In this piece of art as
you can see there are different colors
used such as red, black, gold, and grey, I
believe that the red colors bring out the

picture which is the emphasis of it
because it brings out everything.

7. Incipit Page to the Gospel
This piece of art was created in 1300-1310 and was made by the
Armenian peoples and can be found at the Monastery of Noravank. It
is located in Siwnik, Armenia. As you can see in this art work there are
lots of different green, blue, red, yellow colors and lines and different
abstract and unknown shapes but I think it’s very unique and in which
I believe all of them bring out the art works contrast as a whole piece.

emphasis of this piece of art work because
