PART 1–
Just about every temple, church, place of worship, and most religious art in general is symmetrical. Some art is composed of geometric designs. The geometry and symmetry in religious art is there to reassure. Show you they are stable, calm and to comfort or welcome.
Research one symbol that is represented in religion. You can choose one of the examples in the text, such as the triangle, the dove, the circle, or light, or you can choose a different symbol. In what religion do you see this symbol? Under what context is it normally shown/what does it represent? In what other religions is this symbol used? 200-300 words. Be concise.
PART 2– Photography and Fact
No unread replies.No replies.
Photography is often associated with factual reporting. The camera, however, records only one point of view, and that can be edited quite easily today. Photographers choose which pictures to take and which to ignore. Editors select only a few images to print. Governments can control the press’s access to events and thus influence coverage, as happened in the early 1990s during Operation Desert Storm. Is the news factual? Is art factual? Cite some examples to support your argument. PART 3—
Prior to the invention of photography, portrait painting was reserved for royalty, the wealthy, or important members of society because it was expensive and required a lot of time. Photography opened up the possibilities for the average person to capture their likeness in a portrait. Portraits both painted and photographed capture not only the likeness of the sitter, but may also reveal something of the sitter’s personality. Examine the paintings, sculpture and photographs below.
