Task:
Complete an exam on the history of the Notre Dame Cathedral
Purpose:
To help you demonstrate your understanding of the content discussed thus far.
Background
Sometimes it seems like artwork is an act of supreme creativity, and it looks or sounds the way it does
solely because the artist willed it so. But art does not exist in a vacuum. Every artist makes decisions in the
context of the time and place in which they live. A great artist knows the work that went before them and
either consciously imitates it or consciously rejects it. The people who support them, either by buying their
work or patronizing them in some other way, have tastes that the artist must somehow satisfy. These people
in turn have historical, cultural, and religious backgrounds that influence their taste. Even geography makes
a difference: Italian cities featured lots of fine marble because marble is abundant in its volcanic soil. Marble
is rare in France, so Parisian artisans carved in limestone instead.
Most people generally prefer what they are used to, and it is sometimes easy to reject something that
doesn’t fulfill our immediate expectations. For instance, the Italians in the 1200s were used to the Roman
style of building with its elegant and mostly unadorned arches and domes. They were horrified by the
pointed arches and intricate carvings of the Gothic, and named the style after the Goth barbarian tribe. We
are often tempted to do the same thing when we encounter something new, or something very old (like your
parents’ music or black and white movies). To get past that initial prejudice, we need to know something of
the time, place, and culture in an attempt to see the artwork with a different set of eyes than we currently
possess.
