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 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.

When we clap or sing, we are producing sounds with our body. Now, think about the different types of sounds we can make using our hands and mouth. Additionally, some people can also play musical instruments or create music by drumming on boxes and drums with their hands. Therefore, based on what you have learned about sound sources and experimenting with making different sounds with your body, describe a game that you could invent using the sounds your body is capable of producing. What would this game be like? What rules and objectives would you include for children to have fun and learn about sounds and rhythm at the same time? Explain in detail.
