1. Description– describe what you see- imagine that the person you are describing it to is not there or is blind. How will you make the work of art visible through verbal description?
2. Summary this text – summarize this text what i wrote on this question!! you think are the most important pieces of information that you gleaned from the textbook- read the book closely and put it in your own words.
– Summary this -> : Architects first used flying buttresses on a grand scale in the Cathedral of Notre-Dame in Paris. The buttresses countered the outward thrust of the nave vaults and held up the towering nave walls.
About 1130, Louis VI moved his officialresidence to Paris, spurring much commercial activity and a greatbuilding boom. Paris soon became the leading city of France, indeed ofall northern Europe, making a new cathedral a necessity. Notre-Dame(FIG. 13-11) occupies a picturesque site on an island in the SeineRiver called the Île-de-la-Cité. The Gothic church, which replaced alarge Merovingian basilica, has a complicated buildinghistory. The choir and transept were completed by1182, the nave by about 1225, and the facade not untilaround 1250–1260. Sexpartite vaults cover the nave, asat Laon. The original elevation (the builders modifiedthe design as work progressed) had four stories, but thescheme (FIG. 13-10b) differed from Laon’s (FIG. 13-10a).In place of the triforium over the gallery, stained-glassoculi (singular oculus, a small round window) open upthe wall below the clerestory lancets. As a result, windowsfill two of the four stories, further reducing themasonry area. (This four-story nave elevation can be seen in only onebay in FIG. 13-11, immediately to the right of the south transept andpartially hidden by it.)To hold the much thinner—and taller (compare FIGS. 13-10aand 13-10b)—walls of Notre-Dame in place, the unknown architectintroduced flying buttresses, exterior arches that spring from thelower roofs over the aisles and ambulatory (FIG. 13-11) and counterthe outward thrust of the nave vaults. Gothic builders employed flyingbuttresses as early as 1150 in a few smaller churches, but atNotre-Dame in Paris they circle a great urban cathedral.At Durham,the internal quadrant arches (FIG. 12-33, right) beneath the aisleroofs, also employed at Laon, perform a similar function and may beregarded as precedents for exposed Gothic flying buttresses. Thecombination of precisely positioned flying buttresses and rib vaultswith pointed arches was the ideal solution to the problem of constructingtowering naves with huge windows. The flying buttresses,like slender extended fingers holding up the walls, are key componentsof the distinctive “look” of Gothic cathedrals (see “The GothicCathedral,” page 347, and FIG. 13-12).
