In reviewing Kristina P.'s blog for the Romanesque time period, I found it very interesting how in the current applications, she included the Harry Potter Hogwarts castle. This is a great representation of the Romanesque period resembling much of what the churches at this time would have portrayed. In addition, instead of just showing the churches from this period, Katrina went on to show single aspects of the churches. This is seen in her pictures of the semicircular arch and vaults, pointed saxon windows, and masonry roofs. It was good to show these elements on their own. It is much different when a church is shown and you must pick out these elements.
I also reviewed Kristina's blog on this subject. She talked about the same throne that I brought up in my blog, the throne of Dagobert. She explained how outdoor patio furniture is similar to this chair in that, outdoor seating if often made of metals and similar materials to protect from weathering. In talking about churches, I like how she broke down the new concept and additions based on the old perspective. She also added in the idea that today long hallways with a series of arches are very popular in design and capture the setting of the apse in Romanesque churches.
