Question

Consider the geometric motif and the use of calligraphy (the word) as art. How does the use of the word as art differ in creating a visual spectacle from the Byzantine use of mosaics?

Answer 1

The similarities of the concept of paradise for both religious are that in the afterlife peace and harmony coexist. However, the difference between these religions is how access to the afterlife is different. For Christians, it is Heaven, paradise and then "the city". For Islam, the afterlife is achievable whether tou were born a Muslim or converted into one in later in life. A Calligraphy is a form of art because the way it is written shows the emotion that is portrayed. It is different from the Mosaics because mosaics already imply a thought about the art while for Calligraphy, it could be up for interpretation.
