Answer:
Medieval art forms that served educational and decorative purposes were tapestries and stained glass windows.
Explanation:
- The medieval tapestries besides being decorative elements for their great beauty had other functions: utilitarian and educational. They were used to protect the great halls of medieval buildings from moisture and cold and their representations narrated historical and religious events that were expected to be known by several people. For example, the Bayeux Tapestry shows the preparations and the development of the battle of Hastings. On the other hand, the Angers Apocalypse tapestry illustrated monsters and other creatures of the Christian tradition with a didactic and evangelizing objective.
- The medieval stained glass windows had as main objective to transmit the biblical teachings to those who could not read. The colors of these glasses installed in cathedral buildings were intended to create a mystical atmosphere.
