Christian Art

     Christian Art, in this era of art, the arts are related to Christianity and God. This is the era of Christianity being held and dominating the world of art. Though in this era, still the Greek art architectures and artistry are still applied in some creation in these era. For example are the structure of architecture, the doric orders that are applied in some churches. Most of the architecture from this era, was mostly churches. Many churches was built in the city of Rome than the city of Greece. I see that in this era, painting are not that popular, but images in clothes are, the images in the cloths are weaved by weavers in Early Christian Art era. Many people find the arts in this era, amusing 'cause many people are catholic, so they are fascinated by these work of arts. Christianity back then are not legal, until Constantine legalized it.

     According from what I have researched about this era, that back then, when Christianity was not legal. Christians cannot make a symbol of a cross directly, so they made a representation of a cross, a two fish that has a pattern of a cross. In this kind of way, they will not be punish 'cause they will not think it was a cross, but if you will look closely you will see the pattern. But after Constantine's law of making Christianity legal, they made cross directly, symbolizing God. In these era the Bible was created and it is said to be it is created by four evangelists named John, Matthew, Luke, Mark. The sculptures in this era are most likely carved from wood and it is on a wall, where you can only have one view of it, in front.



     The predominant styles in this era is good, most of it are related to Christianity and religion. The subject matter on this era was all about Christianity and religion, their God and their beliefs. I think it has a few influence on me, because I do not use much of their predominant style. I only use their style if I am required to use and do it. I am not saying that I do not like Christianity, I am a Christian also, and I believe in what they believed. It doesn't mean that if your a Christian artist, you'll use the Christian Art's predominant style and figures.
