Art Appreciation

Page 84, 3-22 Hungry Tigress Jataka, Tamamushi Shrine. (Stokstad) Page 159, 7-3 Finding of Baby Moses, Synagogue at Dura-Europos, Syria. (Stokstad) Page 233, 10-13 Bishop Odo Blessing the Feast, Bayeux Tapestry. (Stokstad) I chose three works of art created during different time periods and different cultures: Bishop Odo Blessing the Feast Bayeux Tapestry, is from the Romanesque Period, Finding of the Baby Moses panel of wall from the Synagogue at Dura-Europos, Syria is an example of Jewish Art, …showed first 75 words of 814 total…

…showed last 75 words of 814 total…unique at the time, and still there is nothing found quite like it in the world. This Tapestry shows history at its most crucial time, whereas in today's culture there isn't much history that is being created into art. All three of these works of art are very different compared to today's standards. In today's culture there are still works of arts telling stories just as they are informing us on history that is happening.
