With The Flowering of Religion and Fiefdom and Monastery, Pilgrimage and Crusade

comes the introduction of a recurring theme of artistic expression that would follow man up to
current times, and is perhaps the most significant expansion of large-scale, shared philosophies
in his history: the rapid spread of major worldly religions (Christianity, Buddhism, and Islam),
each in a separate part of the world. Inspired by the recent developments of newfound faith, we
see man shift his thinking in the direction of doing what he thinks is right, in terms of the
religion he clings to. Such massive support of one religion, coming from such large numbers of
people, provides man with a guideline for behaving justly, and, accordingly, creating art with
such thoughts in mind. Thus, art in all forms takes a substantial turn towards religious
expression. Rather than focusing on the day-to-day, as artists did previously, religious belief
becomes front-and-center for a medium of man being able to express his ideas. In my Cultural
Creation, I attempt to display the power of Christianity in comparison to other religions that were
prominent during the day (specifically, I included Islam and Zoroastrianism). Christianity is the
tallest church building, representative of its power and dominance, Islam is the second tallest
building (to the right), and Zoroastrianism is the shortest, all the way to the left. (No revisions
were necessary with this Cultural Creation.)
