How is religion seen on the cultural landscape?

 

Today we will be researching religious architectural styles.

  1. Roman Catholicism
  2. Protestantism (select two denominations)
  3. Eastern Orthodox
  4. Hinduism
  5. Sikhism
  6. Islam
  7. Judaism

 

You will be researching the architectural styles of these religions.  For each religion you will find three pictures illustrating your research (therefore, you will need to type a word document).  You will write a BRIEF explanation of the distinct architectural styles associated with each.  Do not forget to research artwork within the buildings!

Monday 11/16 HW

You need to read pp. 180-190 and complete a mapping activity.  You need to print off a map of the world (you can use your own if you would like or print off a new one) and color in the major religions of the world as seen on pp. 184-185.  It is important that you take the time to color it in yourself and do not use the computer or print a similar world map, because you will learn it as you take the time to color it. There may or may not be a need to have this in class tomorrow….just sayin’……
