Gothic Art Project

Below, you will find a list of items which you need to identify, define, describe, or recognize (or any combination of these things). To accomplish this, you can do research in any source you like, but a good one is the internet. Do a web search using keywords like, "Gothic Architecture" or "cathedrals" and see what comes up. You need to descriminate . Some sites are more useful than others.
