Project Resposibilities and Outline

Paige, as the chair of the shelter portion of our World Civilization project and I as co-chair intend to "better" two rooms in the women's shelter. We intend to, prep the rooms for a new paint job, paint the room, and after it dries, decorate it with a general theme. But since there are others in our class that are more experienced in the areas of what we intend to do with the room, we left those parts to certain people; the painting supplies to Dr. Guy and Juan and the docor portion to Barbara.

I will most likely be there all day so i will coordinate the moving around of the furnitures before the painting and after as well as keep everything on line along with Paige since there is going to be people coming and leaving. Quite possibly I might have to monitor the dog kennels and/or the painting since they should be running at the same time. If all goes well and we have enough people, the room renovation should run smoothly.

Muslim faith

The Muslim faith is fairly related to many other beliefs in the case that the people believe and worship one God known as "Allah." When translated, the word "Islam" is equivalent to peace and submission so in this case, Islam refers to the Muslims that submit to the will of God. They are directed and guided by the words of the Qur'an (kor-ran), much like the bible. In this book are the religious words believed to be the revelation of God, revealed and translated by the last prophet of God, Muhammad, who is also the founder of the Islam faith. Muslims believe that those who live accordingly to the Qur'an are true Muslims. They are very strict with their actions due to the fact that most everything they do, they do with dignity and honor to bring glory to God. Many of their beliefs are very similar to other beliefs; for example, they pray but for five times at a specified time. Another point would be to abstinent, basically no sex before marriage. To go even further, they reject pork. This is because pigs are known to be dirty and live in their own filth so eating pork would make impure.

This faith is divided into two main groups, Sunnis and Shi'ites, much like how Christians, Catholics and Protestants are subgroups but all believe in the same basic principles. So Sunnis and Shi'ites share the same Islamic faiths and the 6 articles of faith; God, Angel, Scriptures, Prophets, Resurrection and Divine Creed. So what is the difference? Both groups believe that the Islam faith stemmed from different origins. Not only that but after the death of Muhammad, confusion took hold since he was the last prophet and left the people on their own so something must be done. Therefore, the Sunnis believe that a new Muslim leader should come forth and inherit the leadership role and a respected, trusted conservative elected by the council was chosen; Abu Bakr took the role as the first caliph. The Sunnis believed that the first and upcoming three caliphs was rightfully chosen. Of course the Shi'ites did not agree with that state of mind. They felt that someone of blood, of family should rightfully inherit that role as the Muslim leader.

Boruque Art

Baroque art was first established by the Catholic Church in Europe. This form of art reflected a contrast between light and dark. It appealed to the emotions of that specific piece of artwork or the art works message, such as that of "The Last Dinner."





Baroque art is the type that takes your breath away because of its size, materials used and nevertheless the ridiculous price. Therefore, one can tell that the main purchasers of these pieces of art would be those who were in high standings...monarchial figures or nobility. These days, when one tries to show off their wealth, one would own a mansion, a Ferrari or even own an island but back then having Baroque pieces of art was their way of showing off their significance. This style emphasized how complex, exquisite, brilliant, significant, and how ridiculously detailed each art piece was.




The Meritime Revollution was a time of new discovery, and Boroque art was one aspect that came from it or rather the Europeans spread the art form from when they colonized. During this time, the people began to not need the church because, in a religious point of view, according to Martin Luther, the people can get their own salvation through a relationship with God. Because of that, the Catholic Church needed money due to the fact that since the pope made money off the concerned about their souls though indulgences, they now need to find a new way.

Baroque art, reflected change; change in how the church manifested its power through their baroque architectures built from money made off of the people. Through this, the Church tried to re-establish its role in society. This form of art reflected an overall change with technology (compass, ships, sails, and astolobe), the people's religious perspective, society, agriculture (new methods of shipping crops, new fertilizer, productive land, and new crops) and the environment. All of which were motives of exploration.
