Answer:
D. They openly accepted their bondage and strove to create close relationships with their owners.
Explanation:
Two institutions in the life of slaves - the church and the family - became the objects of the most detailed critical analysis of historians. The vitality, worldview and hallmarks of the rite of religion of slaves pointed to the flexibility and vitality of the African cultural heritage and the extent to which blacks managed to resist the dehumanizing influence of the “special institution” of the South. Slaves rejected the interpretation of Christianity, which was professed by whites and which emphasized the need for humility and promised deliverance from suffering not on earth, but in the afterlife. On the contrary, they began to consider themselves as God's chosen people, like the children of Israel, and their slavish dependence and possible freedom in the future - as part of a predetermined divine plan.
Spirituals – songs of black American slaves - arose in the southern states and generalized African and Anglo-Celtic artistic traditions. They are mostly associated with biblical images, but biblical motifs are "reduced," combined with a narrative of everyday life.
Despite the targeted and coordinated prohibitions of slave owners, slaves managed to create their own communities and played an active role in the life of the region.
Гnder official law, marriages between slaves were recognized as invalid. But the black spouses themselves took them very seriously, creating strong monogamous families.
Basically North African and Middle Eastern cultures have very similar traditional clothing styles, food, architecture, beliefs and art.
This is caused by two main factors: common environment and common rulers.
Both North Africa and the Middle East are hot, dry and deserty. Dominated by the Arabian-Syrian/Sahara Deserts, both cultures were greatly influenced by their harsh environment that necessitated certain adaptions (most notably clothing and certain foods, pork for example generally rots easily in the desert and becomes dangerous to eat).
There is also the issue of their common religion/rulers. A large portion of their joint history has been spent serving under one ruler or another (Rome, Abbassids, Ottomans, etc.) They also share a common religion, greatly influencing eachother.
Answer:
<u>Painting "The Last Supper"</u>
- It is a mural painting made between 1495 and 1498 by Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) did not charge for this painting. It was commissioned by Ludovico Sforza for the Convent of Santa Maria delle Grazie in Milan, Italy.
- The artist uses the vanishing perspective or linear perspective, which is a characteristic of Renaissance art. The main focus of his perspective is the character of Jesus, who is the center of reference for artistic composition.
- Leonardo Davinci combines the use of vanishing perspective with the classical architectural representation, creating the illusion that the space in the convent where the painting was located seemed wider.
- Another characteristic element of the Renaissance was the use of a window system to introduce natural light sources and spatial depth into the paintings. In “The Last Supper”, the lighting comes from the three windows in the background.
<u>Painting "The Ambassadors"
</u>
- The painting is actually called “Jean de Dinteville and Georges de Selve”. It was created by Hans Holbein the Younger in 1533.
- In this work, two characters look directly at the viewer, a very new effect for the time.
- In the lower part there is an element that gives a complex character to the painting: it looks like a deformed human skull. Technically it is an anamorphosis, that is, an intentional deformation of an image that can only be corrected by an optical effect such as a curved mirror. This innovative technique forces the viewer to be in a specific perspective to be able to see the image correctly.
