Romanesque and Islamic | Reviews

Romanesque
1) Erin K: I enjoyed her focus on the architectural elements of this period. She focused on the new masonry being used and how this supported the churches. Erin also went into detail about the furniture and interiors of the homes which really provided an insight of how they lived.

2) Claire: I liked how she went into a broad examination of the period for her first paragraph. She then transferred into a more detailed summary; focusing in on a specific church. Claire also explained a modern example of this period which really helps connect the dots from the past to present.

Islamic
1) Angie: Angie did a good job providing several examples of mosques. She explained why each mosque was different, and she provided great facts about each of them. She explain the horseshoe arches and the mosaic design that were used extensively during this time.

2) Katie: Her current application images were really great. I enjoyed how they were very modern yet showed the historical elements that came about during the Islamic time period. My favorite is the last image she provided. It shows off the use of the fountain with columns that supported the horseshoe arches.
