Even less addressed is Romanesque architectural style. Based on direct experiences of visiting hundreds of Romanesque churches in France, Italy, and Spain; many years of teaching design courses; and subsequent research and visual analyses of photos, the author discusses the aesthetic merits of Romanesque architecture through design principles: unity by repetition, variety and contrast, proportion, hierarchical forms, and articulation. Unity, variety, and contrast are found in many modern design books, proportion, less so, but it was very important in the medieval period. Hierarchical forms and articulation are uniquely Romanesque. The author demonstrates that Romanesque builders possessed a great sense of design and creativity.

Based on direct experiences of visiting hundreds of Romanesque churches in France, Italy, and Spain; many years of teaching design courses; and subsequent research and visual analyses of photos, the author discusses the aesthetic merits of Romanesque architecture through design principles: unity by repetition, variety and contrast, proportion, hierarchical forms, and articulation. Unity, variety, and contrast are found in many modern design books, proportion , less so, but it was very important in the medieval period. Hierarchical forms and articulation are uniquely Romanesque. The author demonstrates that Romanesque builders possessed a great sense of design and creativity. In the study of art history, Romanesque architecture has not been appreciated as much as it deserves. This realization came to me from my rst direct experience with Romanesque churches in Auvergne, France. 1 I had taken many art history classes together with my courses in aesthetics, art education , and studio art; but my conceptual picture of the Romanesque was not positive. I remembered it as the building style that looked "heavy" outside, "dark" inside, and studded with "frightening" sculptures. However, my direct experience of these churches told me a wholly different story, that of formal harmony, stylistic richness, and ingenuity in design solutions. As a researcher in art education, I became intrigued by this discrepancy between my conceptual knowledge and my direct experience of architectural history.

The Arabs were semi-nomads in the desert of the Arabian Peninsula, and therefore, had not had any viable artistic heritage. How, then, could they establish their own brilliant artistic tradition which lasted more than a millennium? They adopted the art of their conquered lands, Byzantium and Persia. This presentation traces the influences of philosophy and practices of these conquered lands in the establishment of Islamic art.
