Cody Collins English 2 Honors ALT 1 October 31, 2014 Leadership is a characteristic that this world can?t survive without. Very few people have this special quality. You have to know how to talk, encourage and persuade others into doing the right things that can change or even save lives. Many leaders that we know or have heard of today have impacted many lives. It can be as big as leading soldiers into a vicious battle to the death or as small as leading an elderly woman across the street. Either way, you are making a difference somehow.

4.04 Religion influences art by bringing to the forefront of the artwork important principals and lessons that are taught in that specific religion. The Islamic example I selected is the dome of the Selimiye Mosque. The other work of art I have selected is Christ as the Good Shepherd from the Catacomb of Priscilla. Both of these works of art have elements specific to their religion.
