Assignment task:
We are fortunate to have many of the structures and art forms of this time period still displayed in cathedrals and churches throughout Europe. Many of you have seen them first hand. Some have watched the "Sister Wendy" series on PBS (if not you are missing out). Others of you have seen some of these in museums or the Vatican's traveling artifacts exhibit. Based on art from this time period, what is the importance of art to the historical Christian faith before the reformation?
Discuss the impact of early Christianity on art.
