During the Middle Ages, Gothic art flourished as a visual expression of the Christian faith and a reflection of the beliefs and values of the time. Gothic architecture, with its high vaults and stained glass windows, was designed to elevate the observer's spirit to the divine. Considering the importance of religious symbolism in Gothic art, describe how the architectural elements and stained glass windows of Gothic cathedrals served as means of communicating Christian theology to the population at that time. Analyze the role of light, both natural and projected by the stained glass windows, in this context of artistic and religious communication. Relate your analysis to the concept of 'synthesis of the arts' that characterized medieval artistic production, combining architecture, sculpture, and painting for a common and unified purpose.

During the Prehistory, the first human artistic expressions emerged in the context of societies that did not have writing, known as agraphic societies. These manifestations, found in different parts of the world, reflect the daily life, beliefs, and the relationship of man with the environment of that time. For example, cave art is an important record that provides clues about the thinking and social organization of these ancient peoples. It is characterized by figures ranging from simple drawings to complex paintings made in caves and rock shelters, using natural pigments. The analysis of these works allows the observation of changes in techniques and styles over time, as well as revealing fundamental aspects of prehistoric life.

During the Baroque period, art was not only a means of aesthetic expression, but also served as a powerful tool for education and religious propaganda in a context of intense faith and competition between Churches. The ability of Baroque artists to create works that provoked strong emotions, deepened spirituality, and exalted the power of the clergy and nobility, contributed to the consolidation of the Baroque movement not only in Europe but also in its colonies, as observed in Latin America. In his work, 'The Rape of Proserpina,' the sculptor Gian Lorenzo Bernini is notorious for capturing a fleeting moment in marble, creating a sense of movement and tension that defies the nature of the material and provides a visceral experience to the viewer. Considering the historical context and the characteristics of Baroque art, analyze how the representation of the human figure in Bernini's sculpture exemplifies Baroque ideals of spirituality and theatricality, and discuss how these principles were adapted and transmitted in the context of European colonization in America.
