Focusing on the next generations as the owners of the heritage, development of the educational approach for children is an important issue which would assist the preservation of cultural affairs. Provision of the possibilities by which children can get familiar with their cultural treasures would support the cultural sustaining and maintaining approaches of the society while this chain would deliver the cultural values more effectively. Among several approaches, visual communication as the unique language which can be understood and utilized by every nation has been considered as an educational approach for children to promote their knowledge on the value of cultural heritage. Considering the fame and importance of Persepolis, it has been aimed as case study and different visual communicating procedures have been proposed for education of Persian student on this world heritage, while in some cases, the possibilities and limitations have been discussed.
Islamic art is an introverted art derived from mystical thought and believes expressed in artistic activities and is pure, indigenous, and commensurate with the spirit and social status of its time; Islamic architecture also has an Islamic foundation, and it has a close relationship with the decorative arts. In this regard, mosques are considered the most significant Islamic architecture achievements; in most cases, geometrical shapes and motifs with religious and natural themes have been used. Therefore, the present study's primary purpose is to study the geometric patterns of the Ateeq Mosque (Shiraz) and the Cordoba Mosque (Cordoba) by a descriptive-analytical method. Analyzing the collected data revealed that the motifs and their role in both the Ateeq Mosque of Shiraz and Cordoba are similar. Among the essential motifs observed in these two mosques can be the circle (symbol of being and the symbol of heaven and God), Shams (symbol of the sun and celestial light), the triangle with the downward vertex, the symbol of the female principle and the upward symbol of the mountain symbol and the masculine principle and crucifix (symbol of rotation of the seasons and permanent reproduction) and spiral as the symbol of fertility. In the Islamic period, these motifs are decorated with architectural spaces. The geometric motifs represent natural elements. As appreciation and sanctification of natural elements have been noticed, geometric motifs symbolically evoke those sacred elements and were illustrated in Iran and Spain's arts.
A mosque is a manifestation in which religion meets with art, demonstrating the most distinctive features of this art. Among the structural analysis approaches in architectural science, body analysis is critical, especially while the conceptual characteristics are considered. The positioning of the mosque building bodies and their relation to each other is also essential. The study aims to realize the geometry of motifs in Islamic architecture contemplated in many scientific and artistic disciplines from the perspective of body approach and understand the pattern on which this creative adaptation is made. In the Safavid era and the Ottoman Empire, Iran, due to its religious approaches, political rivalries, and European influence, saw new relations, and their cultural and artistic influences became tight. To understand the structural features of the architecture of the Safavid and Ottoman era, Sheikh Lotfollah and Sultan Ahmad mosques were studied (as a case study), considering their body analysis as a route to investigate the application of concepts and elements of Islamic architecture, as well as considering the architectural practices of the region and geographical location. Obtained results provided the relationship of the bodies and spaces to each other. Despite many differences, there are some distinct similarities in the body of the studied mosques due to the mystery of the motifs that unite the whole building in Islamic buildings. There is a display of homogeneity and dominance of decoration over the form. The one behind the decoration is in line with Islamic concepts and values. It is a message of unity and solidarity.
Bahman Mohasses is one of the artists who emphasize his unique personal art, style and look in creating his works, both in the field of painting and sculpture. He transcends the superficial and dramatic manifestations of modern schools and at the same time the outward manifestations of the Iranian visual tradition, and finds remarkable success in inventing his personal identity. Critics, friends and followers consider his work to be influenced by the most famous Spanish artist of the twentieth century, Pablo Picasso. Beyond technique and style, the influence of Picasso’s personality on him and the spiritual similarities between the two are sometimes astonishing. What sets Mohasses apart from many Iranian artists, in addition to his unique technique among Iranian painters, was his dark and bitter look in his works. Although many of Mohasses’ early works are technically close to those of European painters of the 1920s and 1930s, their main origins are in Picasso’s Cubist style. Perhaps for this reason, many Iranian painters and art critics consider Bahman Mohasses to be the most complete Iranian painter by European standards and even know him as the Iranian Picasso.
V posledních desetiletích byl mnohými badateli opakovaně analyzován vztah Nietzscheho a Wagnera. V mnoha knihách a oborných článcích byly podrobně vysvětlovány filozofické, sociální, psychologické i umělecké aspekty tohoto vztahu. Tento článek se pokouší prozkoumat jeho skryté aspekty. Na jedné straně vycházíme z dokumentů, které zanechal Nietzsche, a na druhé straně z hodnocení provedených na postoji Wagnera. Hlavním cílem je rozlišit nejasné vlivy tohoto komplikovaného vztahu, s přihlédnutím k pozoruhodným dokumentům, které zanechal Nietzsche. Klíčová je časová následnost proměny jejich vztahu, kterou se ve studii pokoušíme zachytit.
