2)In this week's Module we have discussed rulers and their imagery.  Please select one example from the topics we have discussed, either a Mask a or piece of architecture and discuss what you have learned based on the object all by itself.  This will require you to pay close attention to visual characteristics of the object or the lay-out, and or structure of the temple.

3)How does the Mural at Bonampak inform us of the power practiced in the Mayan society?  Discuss some of the poses, hierarchy and visual techniques used by the artists.  When discussing techniques, pay close attention to the colors, garments, the division of the composition to different registers.  What does all that mean in terms of evoking and communicating the sense of political power.
