2 Characteristics of Medieval Art
Rich colors Heavily outlined Flat and stiff figures showing no depth Religious Icons Architecture is influenced by Greek and Roman – Byzantine, Romanesque and Gothic styles emerged from this period. Mosaics replaced carved decoration Large Domes central to the church

3 Medieval Churches & Monestaries
Romanesque structures featured round arches and heavy thick walls, small windows like the Roman style (necessary so the windows do not weaken the structure). A lot of sculptural decorations. Gothic structures featured pointed arches and have slender feel as if they soar upward (to Heaven), large stained glass windows filtered in light and color. Byzantine structures featured large Domes that cover soaring spaces, arches and lavish decoration.
