Paris

1. Paris Opera Walk Around and Through
If you have not already done so, please watch the video at the bottom on the subject of looking inside of buildings using Google Earth.
Using the technique outlined in the video, find 5 distinct spaces or rooms in the Paris opera house. These spaces should pertain to the subject of this module. Do not select simple, utilitarian modern spaces. You must find spaces that relate to the Ecole Des Beaux Arts movement.
Using a screen capture tool, collect and post one image from each space. Please note that the images need to be inserted into the discussion post. Do not upload or attach them separately. Label each of the 5 images with a title that you feel describes the space in the image.
Select one image and write a one page paragraph describing how elements in the space are of the Ecole des Beaux Artes movement. Identify classical elements such as columns, capitols, entablatures, ornamentation and other design elements and include them in your post. Explain what you think about the space and the things in it that you have identified.

2. Sagrada Familia Walk Around and Through
Using the technique outlined in the Paris Opera House discussion post, find 5 distinct locations in the Sagrada Familia Basilica. You should feel that these locations are meaningful, beautiful, or interesting.
Using a screen capture tool, collect and post one image from each location. Please note that the images need to be inserted into the discussion post. Do not upload or attach them separately. Label each of the 5 images with a title that you feel describes the space in the image.
Select one image and write a one page paragraph describing how elements in the space are related to the Art Nuovo and specifically Gaudi’s design process. Identify structural, spatial, and symbolic elements you find interesting and include them in your post. Explain what you think about the space and the things in it that you have identified.
