art history

Question 3:

3. Write a comparison of two art works, each from a different culture or time period within a culture, that you have studied in these two chapters, 14 and 15. Place each work in historical context. Include what role the art work might have fulfilled in the culture, (the six roles of art, designated by Getlein in Chapter 1 will assist you), and what you see as the theme of each art work. (Review the nine themes of art discussed by Getlein in Chapter 3.) Use at least 5 terms from the Visual Elements and Principles of Design, from Chapters 4 and 5.   Before you begin, be sure to review the Power Point, "How to Write a Comparison".

Be sure to look outside the chapters for other art works from these cultures that you might use. Here are some examples of art works that lend themselves to intriguing comparisons. You may use these or find your own comparisons:

1. These two vases: 14.21 Krater, p.365 with 14.23 Andokides, p. 367

2. These two paintings: 15.10 Icon, p. 383 and 15.26, The Lamentation, p. 392

3. These two sculptures: 3.10 Marcus Aurelius, p.58 and 11.15 Menakaure and Khamerenebty, p.276

(In all your responses, remember to include page and illustration number if from the course text or appropriate citation, i.e. the web link,  if taken from an outside source).
