Abstract

My central problem that I want to investigate for my final paper is the exploration of the art throughout the Islamic world and how it differs throughout the world. My topic is important because it shows how Islamic art is complex throughout the world. I plan on researching the individual areas that Islamic art is in like Africa, Europe, Middle East and China. I plan on looking into the areas as a whole and comparing and contrasting how the art is in these different places. Islamic art is complex because it has evolved over time and each area of this art is different than the next. My results will go back to my central problem of the exploration of art throughout the Islamic world because it will show different representations of the art itself. Through all of this I hope that I will be able to teach the complex differences and similarities that on religion can depict throughout art.
