This period is all about christianity. I've learned so many things here. And I discover a lot, that I could'nt imagine. Art history is very important to us multimedia students, we get to know the possiblities and advantages of art. We can stock to our minds that back then has a lot of things that ancient people can do, that can amaze us with their skills and talents.
In this era, christian people are very religous, obviously. They hide their human dead underground but not only that, they hide their sculpture and churches. And their are Catacombs as they call it. Because back then christian people are prohibited and stict to this period. Like for example, Saint Denis - he is a christian martyr and a bishop of Paris. And for not following the rules, he commit christianity and his head was chopped off and pick his head up and walked for 10 kilometers and preaches sermon in his entire way. So that how strict back then. When Constantine was throne in the Byzantine Empire, he agreed with the christians and big cathedrals was build in land and it was not strict anymore.
Furthermore, there are also sculptures that was in front of the cathedrals, like the Jamb statues that also represent something. There are rose window also in front of the churches. They are like flowers. Now, all churches where everywhere. Big cathedrals can be seen in Paris, Europe and also here in the Philippines and many more places. And also mosaics are inside the churches.
