Art is the mirror of any culture and its worldly views. The art of Muslim world mirrors its social values and uncovers the way Muslims see the spiritual domain and the universe. Muslims all over the world embrace the identical system of belief and each one of them is well familiar with the spiritual connection regardless of nationwide, racial differences or conflicts. They consider themselves to be Muslim as a matter of paramount importance. This strong sense of identity and stability inclined en route for a high level of societal and richest artistic traditionalism.

In the early medieval period, from the eleventh through the mid-thirteenth century, and the late medieval period, the mid-thirteenth through the fifteenth century, different regional forces developed, which promoted diversity in cultural expression. At last, the late Islamic period, the sixteenth through the eighteenth century, was a time of incredible realms, in which intense dynastic support, like never before, advanced to promote and shape artistic styles. It has been observed that in 2oth and 21st century Islam and Islamic art is spreading on a faster pace in European countries and states of
KAILI HONG PER.3 THE ISLAMIC EXPANSION The early Islamic empire expanded in a couple of ways. One of the ways was the war.

Between the years 1000 and 1450, trade networks, were rapidly being established throughout Africa, Asia, and Europe and becoming increasingly successful. The main idea of adjusting to culture by the Europeans differed heavily from the Muslims idea of spreading and influencing culture, which resulted in the Europeans suffering some cultural consequences. The documents imply that the Muslims culture was able to spread further while having a greater impression on travelers than the Europeans culture, which was focused on the exploration of other cultures and religious conversion. The Muslim culture was able to spread its culture, while trying to succeed in new surroundings, which allowed it to be spread further than the Europeans culture was

(William J. Duiker and Jackson J. Spielvogel, World History, vol. 1,446). These
For instance, abstract Islamic art suddenly began to depict human figures in the 12th century. Islamic art exploded with new techniques and figures due to Muslim artists being exposed to
The Art is what significantly differentiate us from the other
While reading “The Trouble with (the Term) Art,” written by Carolyn Dean in the summer of 2006, we are taken through an array of different scenarios that lead us to questions what art really is. Dean explores the idea that the word “art” is used far too often and too habitually, and that as we study the non-Western cultures we need to use much more discretion regarding what we call the different pieces of their culture. Throughout the essay, Dean supports her thesis that we too often categorize non-Western pieces as art by using different examples of how certain non-art pieces were deemed as art throughout the course of their history. Dean does this by using four key examples of how these ancient pieces are inappropriately called art to successfully support her thesis and avoid biases.
Mali was an Islamic kingdom during the Middle Ages in West Africa. This was caused by Principle of Culture 9 (“Culture is changed by inside and outside forces.”) This was because outside forces or traders would come to trade and tell them about Islamic ways. An inside force that changed them was a king named Mansa Musa who was the first king to push Islam and its culture in Mali. Mali was Islamic because the people of Mali valued the religion and Mali was influenced by Islamic architecture and arts.
The impacts the Muslims made were made possible by the scale that the Islamic world and religion had grown to.

There are roughly 1.8 million muslims in our world today. How did this happen? How is 24% of our world’s population based on Islam?

They were the ones who caused Muslim architectural design to be spread throughout the Byzantine Empire. Mosques and Madrasahs are the building that people will often see while driving around cities in Indonesia (The Editors of Encyclopedia Britannica). These building display Islam’s architectural building style, there are patterns on the building that makes it so aesthetic. Yet, the impact of Islam is not limited to the art, it is also felt
most Islamic lands, is completely absent. Since Islamic art got its first exposure on a larger scale in Europe at World Fairs where emphasis was on technique and material, the taxonomy based on material caught on within collections and museum display as well (Celik, 1992; Weber, 2012a, p. 39). Indeed, expositions of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century were frequently material based (Kröger, 2012, p. 176; Shalem, 2012, p. 7). Even though the 1910 exhibition in Munich was arranged with a different taxonomy, the multivolume catalogue that was published two years later used the taxonomy of techniques and materials (Troelenberg E. , 2012b, pp. 29-30; Sarre & Martin, 1912).
Introduction Visual and performing arts tend to act as separate entities within the field of education; considerably isolated from the majority of academia, these sectors are often considered to be secondary or elective options after completing primary education. The arts are an essential part of a well-rounded education, however, when an institute begins a budgeting process, the arts are rarely considered a top priority. For example, during periods of recession many public schools within the United Stated were forced to cut visual, performing and musical arts programs, despite studies that proved the exposure to the arts to be beneficial for students both academically and in extracurricular activities.
