Religion has inspired great works of art throughout mankind's history. Jews crafted the golden Ark of the Covenant to carry the Ten Commandments; Christians composed great pieces of music in celebration of Christ; Muslims constructed mosques with beautiful tiled domes; Hindus built temples with extraordinary carvings depicting their gods and Buddhists sculpted lifelike statues of the Buddha. For this project you will do one of two things. You may research a work of art that was inspired by the artist's religion or you may create your own work of art inspired by your own religion. You will present the artwork, either your own or the artist's to the class. If you present someone else's artwork, you also have to present your research on the work of art. If you present your own artwork, you need only explain how your religion inspired your work of art.
