Gothic Art

I really enjoyed studying gothic art, considering that I've seen a real gothic style cathedral when I went to Paris. (Notre Dame) Since my group picked this cathedral for our project, I found out that half of this structure was built in roman style and finished in gothic style. This period lasted for about three centuries all the whole changing from roman to gothic style. The outside shows its gothic style with gargoyles perching off of the roof and its pointy exterior. The inside however is filled with arches and beautiful stained glass. I really liked making the rose windows. Everyone created their own style and filled them with bright colored "glass". I found gothic art to be very interesting because it was something very unheard of that appeared during that time period.
