Dance and Architecture: Spatiality and Orientation
[ send me this paper ]
17 pages in length. Within dance, as within architecture, there is a continuum between space and time. As a dancer dances, the central part of the body is in unique correlation with the limbs, and the spatiality between all parts creates an art form which is the dance itself. The dance is not merely a series of movements, just as architecture is not merely a series of buildings. The entirety of the work is determined not only by the positive spaces, i.e., the body or the buildings, but by the negative spaces as well. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

Duccio di Buoninsegna’s Maesta Altarpiece in the Cathedral of Siena
[ send me this paper ]
This 7 page report discusses the richly embellished Maestà Altarpiece (created 1308-1311) is an example of how numerous Italian paintings were originally parts of altarpieces, which are several paintings grouped in one large panel to adorn an altar. Italian painter, Duccio di Buoninsegna (1255-1319), founder of the Sienese school of painting, was a forerunner of the Renaissance style, who fundamentally perfected the Byzantine tradition in the art of medieval Italy. All of his work involves a religious subject and is characterized by sensitive drawing, skillful composition, a decorative quality akin to that of mosaic, and a more intense emotional tone than that of the Byzantine models he followed.
