What these mean?
What these mean? Hello friends, sorry for my English, I am Chinese and come to America for 1 year. me plese need help with my homework. My question is what these mean? "Relate the role of ancient works of art and architecture to contemporary ideas on national or religious identity. "Thank you, my friends. Can anyone help me understand this? I just need someone to clarify this issue for me. difficult for me to understand.
1. You have to consider whether art (paintings, statues, etc.) and architecture (temples, castles, churches, etc) since centuries, have an influence on how people see themselves as citizens of their country, or as followers of a religion. 2. Here are some examples: a) if Pyramid of Chichen Itza in the Yucatan Peninsula and Mayan temples, influence how Mexicans see themselves (as modern descendants of a ancient civilization) ~ Widom / photos http://infolab.stanford.edu/ / temple.jpg b) in case of Stonehenge and other prehistoric stone circles in Britain, promote the desire to rediscover the pagan religion in the United Kingdom; http://www.evanevans.co.uk/site-images/Stonehenge.jpg c) if the Mona Lisa and other paintings from the Renaissance, help to define the Italians as the creators, custodians and promoters of art and high culture. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/85/Mona_Lisa.jpeg 3. Personally, I think it's a bunch of nonsense, but you have to do homework!
