Religion Affecting The Elements Of Religion And Art Community

Improved Essays
In my opinion, History, religion, and art are all related because they have all been cultures for the past and the present communities. Religion affects the elements of art and history affects both the elements of religion and art. History cannot be affected by either element and art cannot affect the element of religion because religion is formed by the beliefs of the community.

The element of religion affects art because artists in communities paint about what they believe in or what they love. For example, a christian artist would probably paint or sculpt Jesus Christ ascending from the dead, or Jesus walking on water. On the opposite side, Islam's do not believe that our savior Jesus Christ was crucified, so they wouldn’t paint

    Although there are many differences between Ancient Egypt and modern times, Ancient Egypt has made an impact on today’s world because of their art, architecture, and food. First of all, their art influences how we live today and how art affects us today. Their art influences us today because we make statues or sculptures of people who have passed away that we want to honor because of their importance. Ancient Egyptian art also influences us because we sometimes use art, such as statues or paintings, for religious purposes. For example, Christians may have paintings or sculptures of a cross, for that represents the Christian religion.…

    Although most people would assume that since Christianity is a very popular and well supported religion that they would have a greater impacting role on the forms of art produced during the crusades. However, despite Christianity’s current popularity, Islamic beliefs had greater influence the arts during the crusades. When Islam made contact with Europe, they influenced numerous aspects of the European culture especially a few types of art. Some of the gifts the Muslims brought were new instruments, Islamic art, and poetry. The period of contact between Islam and Europe was a vital effect of the crusades setting separate technological advances in place.…

    The factor I find to be the most influential in shaping the future of religion in America is the role of media. I feel that in America today media drives everything, it is everywhere.

    Religion occurs where ever societies exist, from the Sumerians and the Ancient Egyptians right through to modern society religion is everywhere. This essay will look at religion from a sociological perspective and try to answer whether or not Britain is becoming a more secular society. When it comes to religion sociologists, unlike theologists and philosophers, are not as interested in the details of religions themselves, but in what effects religion has on its particular society. The sociological study or religion is separate from the philosophical approach, which is concerned with such questions as the nature and existence of God and the relationship between God and science (William Alston, 1967), in that it does not seek to answer whether or not there, is any validity to religious beliefs. Sociologist Peter L Berger (1967) coined the term ‘methodological atheism’ to describe the process needed in comparing the different beliefs of various religions.…

    This is also true in how it affects anybody’s behavior. Art can open people up to new ideas and beliefs, and artists can make an enormous impact as role models, either in a negative or a positive formality. Art reach out with us on so many levels, and appeals to emotions, senses, reason, and fantasy because it inevitably affects us more than other areas of our judgement. There are some of us who would pay to see a scientific research, but most of us are regular cinema goers, visit art galleries or photo exhibitions. They can co-exist because of the fact that it is easy to be affected by something we see, hear, or read that seems to us to be something to which…

    According to the text Living with Art by Mark Getlein, there are six primary roles that artists fulfill in society: artists “create places for some human purpose” (i.e. monolithic art as Stonehenge, Gobeki Tepe, churches, etc..), artist “create extra-ordinary versions of ordinary objects” (for instance the World’s largest ball of yarn, or Tintoretto’s Last Supper), artists have been used to “record and commemorate” historical events (such as a wedding photographer or Pablo Picasso’s Guernica depicting the carnage of the civil war of Spain), artists give “tangible form to the unknown” (for instance the abstract and cubist movements of the 20th century, or the design of man-made objects), artists “give tangible form to feelings and ideas” ( works…

    Everyone has morals and beliefs that set a baseline for what they value. Values vary between individuals, but for many, religion is the root from where these values stem from. While it is good to morally question, today personal religious affiliation is increasing in collective matters and actions, expressed in politics, protests, and biased beliefs. It’s important to note that religion and politics are two different domains that should not intermingle, as religion is a personal ideology while politics embody a rational, collective process. Good politics are policy oriented and not concerned with external factors related to politicians and their personal lives.…

    Why do groups of people need a religious system in order to form stable cultures and societies? In his address before the Farmington Trust, philosopher Edward Goldsmith argues the importance of religion as a control mechanism for a stable society. He discusses a philosophy in which, “(Religion) provides a goal, whose achievement must ensure the society’s stable relationship with its environment, and a means of achieving this goal, i.e. a ‘hierarchical organisation of instructions or guidelines.’” (Goldsmith) In order to illustrate this organization, provided for by religion, and vital to a stable society, aspects of Ancient Greek culture are highlighted.…

    Spirituality and religion play a large role in the lives of most Americans and almost everybody around the world. There are some people who take religion more serious than others, and practice at least parts of their religion every day. These people live by their religion and their thoughts, beliefs, actions and behaviors are all guided by their religion or spirituality. There are people like myself who believe in what could be considered two beliefs, although they have different names their main focus is the same. Although I don’t consider Karma being a religion because it doesn’t necessarily have a God, I do consider it to be a belief.…

    Media And Religion

    In liberal democratic societies, there is a tendency to consider the right to freedom of expression as being of more importance than the right to freedom of religion. This is apparent through several cases in which, despite their actions causing deep offense to numerous religious individuals, the media’s freedom of expression has been defended and protected. In liberal democratic societies, one should seek to fairly balance the competition between the freedom of expression and freedom of religion. To accomplish this, I believe it is necessary to impose certain restrictions on the media’s freedom. Nevertheless, one must not attempt to completely restrict the right to express views regarding religion, as this would consequently inhibit our…
