I just need help understanding something.
My homework reads: These chapters introduced you to the role of art in architecture in each of these cultures (Early Christian, Byzantine, and Islamic art), the link they provide me is suppose to give me access to significant architectural contributions of this time. Then i have to choose one architectural example from each of the following periods. Please explain what they mean ?
Have you read the chapters?
Have you studied the link?
yeah i read the chapters and i looked through the pictures in the links. And like i don't know if they want me to like, find a building that has the same features seen in the Byzantine, etc. or what. Like one building i found had the same exterior features, but it didn't have the same interior features. And for Byzantine, in my book it shows that they have domes, and i cannot find a building with a dome. I found one but i looked it up and it said its not byzantine style.. but it looks like it!
Check out these pictures.

yeah i found a building like that but it doesnt have the same interior features as Byzantine. Do u think so long it has the same exterior it will still count?
Certainly! It sounds like your homework is asking you to explore the role of art in architecture in the Early Christian, Byzantine, and Islamic cultures. To help you understand, I will explain the steps you can take to complete this task:
1. Access the provided link: Start by clicking on the link your homework provides. This link should direct you to a website or resource that contains information about the significant architectural contributions from each culture.
2. Research the role of art in architecture: Once you are on the website or resource, explore the information provided about the Early Christian, Byzantine, and Islamic cultures. Look for details about how art was incorporated into architecture during those periods. This could include information about architectural styles, decorative elements, symbolism, and cultural influences.
3. Identify significant architectural examples: Based on the information you find, you will need to choose one architectural example from each culture. These examples should be representative of the architectural contributions during the respective time periods. Look for notable buildings, structures, or complexes that showcase the unique characteristics of Early Christian, Byzantine, and Islamic art in architecture.
4. Provide your selections: Once you have identified your chosen architectural examples, record their names and any relevant information about them. Your homework likely asks you to list these selections as part of your assignment.
Remember that the purpose of this task is for you to gain an understanding of the role of art in architecture within these cultures, so be sure to read and research thoroughly to enhance your knowledge.
