Part I: Byzantine Examples
1.) An example of incrustation, was found on a small church near Santa Maria dei Frari:
2.) An example of Mouldings that mimic St. Marks's, on an archway close to the Rialto. The archway is in the similar style as a 7.d order archway.
3.) We found the different style column capitals located on the Fondaco dei Turchi. In the center we find a convex capital surrounded by concave capitals. I also included an example of a very ornate Concave Capital.
4.) We found many many many examples of Peacocks, I am including 4 of the different styles of peacocks we found. They were found all over the islands.
Part II: Gothic Examples
1.) We had a hard time finding second order windows, but late at night we found an example located on a residence near the Group Dinner Restaurant. We can see the circular bottom section, and pointed top.
2.) We found third and fourth order windows over much of the island, here is an example of each found somewhere in Venice.
3.) A glorious example of central Gothic was found on the Santa Maria dei Frari. It contains similar quadrafoils that mimic the Ducal Palace.
4.) Ab example of Venetian Dentil was found under a bridge and in the moulding of a doorway between the Academia and Rialto bridges.
Part III: Renaissance Examples
1.) Located on Scuola Grande dei Carmini we found the use of colored marble circles around the windows.
2.) We found numb, barren stone walls on the exterior of a church near the Academia bridge.
3.) We also found a different example of a renaissance church with a gross design near the academia bridge. 
Ruskin viewed the renaissance as a "negative development where aristocratic and elitist values established themselves throughout art and learning". He believes that its style is one which "no common mind can taste". The building we have chosen exemplifies some of the aspects that Ruskin disliked so much. First of all, it has no color to it. Its appearance is solemn and learned rather than appealing and gay. The sculptures and frescos that adorn this building are shrouded in prior knowledge. The complete symmetry of the facade elements, that adds to the "gross… barbarous... plagiarism" that requires elite knowledge, that shrouds the viewer in prior knowledge. It is this confusion and need for elite knowledge that takes all of the "fun" out of art, which is one of Ruskin's major complaints about Raniassance art.
