Writing Assignment 2- Analyze Space in the Sagrada Familia

Writing Assignment 2

Hello World,
Here is the second and last writing assignment my art teacher give us, while we were in Spain. The assignment was to analyze space in the Sagrada Familia and the use of materials.

This picture is taken from behind the altar. You can see the light shining in from the clear windows. It is lighting up the middle of the church with this beautiful ray of light going to the altar. From this picture you can't really tell how large the church is.

Here is a better example of how large the church is. Julia is standing in front of one of the many columns holding up the church. Look behind her at the stain glass and see how tall that is and thats not even the top of the window. The Sagrada Familia is also a construction site, it is estimated that it won't be completed for another 30 years. The building of the church is done all by donations.

This is just one of the many staircases in the church. In my opinion Gaudi used interesting and different ways to make sure the elements in his design were excuted. He got his inspiration from nature.

He used alot of stones and commission stain glass artist to help in making the Sagrada Familia. This staircase is supposed to look like a seashell. Do you see it?

When you look at this picture what do you see? Would you think it's the ceiling of a world famous church. Well it is the ceiling of the Sagrada Familia. It's pretty far out there, interesting, amazing crazy and look at all them columns holding up that ceiling. That is only part of the ceiling too.

Lastly, I wanted to add this picture of Julia and I next to the big sea turtle.
