    Along the south coast of Peru in the 3rd – 5th century CE, people from area drew the outlines of animals, plants, and geometric shapes into the sand, now known as the Nazca geoglyphs. Unlike most art of the time, these were on a monumental scale as some were 400+ feet long and straight lines were continuous for 1,000+ feet, stopping at a pile of stones. This pile of stones is important because it links to a ritual of Peruvians still in use today – ceremonial walking. Just as modern ceremonial walkers, the people who created these geoglyphs, “earth writings,” may have later followed the paths they created in the sand, driving the sand further to emphasize the figures drawn.…

    Describe the role the arts, crafts and material play in the Indian Summer, in Van der Nüll's essay and in the excerpt from The Stones of the Abby. The Stones of the Abbey: With its physicality expressed through clay, the site of the St. Clotilda monastery, reflects the inner anxiety and instability of the humans populating the abbey. The monk, and narrator, journaling the Stones of the Abbey, describes how the materials – their imperfection and irregularity – serve a challenge to be overcome, both externally in the building, as internally in their hearts. Here, the architecture of the abbey plays a definite role in “reveal[ing] its soul and its quality. The magnitude of our faith, the power of our Order, the holiness of our monks will be reflected directly in the purification or the decadence of our art,” the narrator states.…

As I assembled myself onto the bench, I admired the opening of the trees that was roughly ten feet wide; I was seeing the world at just the right…
