Test 2 Review Guide

How to prepare for TEST 2

Info on Test 2:

· Has to be taken at Testing Center

· Have your Student ID

· NO resources allowed

· Time is not limited

How to prepare for Test:

 Read your guides first and highlight all the terms and core part of your answers.

When reading - omit my comments and additional information (even better – delete them, if not done earlier). Focus on YOUR answers.

· Fill in the charts (below) with pencil. Do as much as possible from memory.

When finished, check your answers against Guides or Book. Correct the wrong answers

and fill in the missed ones. You can erase the answers and repeat it.

 Make sure you remember what you have put in the charts – this is a required minimum to succeed on test.

Finally - please do not do automatic memorizing.

This last phase – Reviewing - is an important part of the learning process.

While you compile the charts – thinking and trying to put together the puzzle pieces – you sum up all the facts into a big picture.

Think – analyze – sum up!

CLASSICAL WORLD TIMELINE

Place on the timeline Greece, Etruscans, Roman Republic and Roman Empire (Early and Late)

. [Type inside the frames]

Roman Empire

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

900 800 700 600 500 400 300 200 100 O 100 200 300 400 50

Always give enough time to work with the timelines. Make sure you understand them and construct your own (on paper and/or in imagination). Also you should know how to ‘translate’ the dates into the centuries. In most cases, centuries will work for you just fine.

TIME LINES /Time Charts - Use your guides.

Cultures/ Civilizations	Periods/ Styles	Dates/ When and How Long
		Years (can be approximate)	Centuries
AEGEAN CIVILIZATIONS	Cycladic Minoan Mycenaean		2nd millennium BC (and earlier)
GREECE Lasted 1,000 years Spanned the 1st millennium B.C. (last 1,000 years in the B.C. era./	1. GEOMETRIC 2. … 3. … 4. …		* - ………… *………… * 5th century B.C. * ………...
ETRURIA/ ETRUSCAN ART	They assimilated with the Romans	700 B.C. – 88 A.D.	7 – 2 centuries B.C.
ROME Lasted 1,000 years	1. REPUBLICA 2. ……..	Last 500 B.C. First 500 A.D.	Last 5 centuries B.C. First 5 centuries A.D.
EARLY CHRISTIAN ART	1. Period of Prosecution 2. ………..	First 500 years A.D.	First 5 centuries A.D.
BYZANTINE ART Lasted 1,000 years		500 s- 1400 s	6th –15th centuries

Important: Think through all the dates and centuries. Have Timeline before you when studying or reviewing material. Eventually you should be able to envision the timelines.

Do not memorize the centuries mechanically - always picture them on the Timeline.

What I expect you to know for sure is a chronological order of the periods/styles and, of course, of civilizations.

Example for Greece: Geometric period came first, next one was Archaic period, then – Classical ; and the last one – Hellenistic .

No need to say that you should remember the chronological order of the civilizations themselves (see the 1st column in the charts above):

Civilizations: ..…- Aegean civilizations - Greek– Etruscan - Roman – Byzantine

MASTEREPIECE CHART

 Always have your book open to observe the pictures.

 Practice filling in the charts from memory. You can print them or you can do it working with the file document.

 Use a pencil with printed copies. Then you can erase your first attempt and repeat the check.

 Do the Chart more than one time. Or at least read the titles (while blocking the other two columns) and double check yourself whether you

(1) can imagine the work and (2) name the culture and period.

If you can do it – your success on the test is guaranteed.

Go for it!

This is the kind of association chain we should form when we study:

Kouros – Greek – Archaic period

Thus, if I say “Parthenon” or – it should come to mind immediately:

Parthenon – Greek – Classical period

Use the chart below to practice. Put in the second column one of the following cultures:

Greek , Etruscan , Roman , Early Christian , Byzantine .

Fight the temptation to simply copy Info from the guide or book.

Yet it would betray the purpose of this exercise and will not help you in preparation.

Practice-practice- practice!

TITLE OF WORK	COULTURE/ CIVILIZATION	Period/ Style
Dipylon Vase	Greek	Geometric
Francois Vase Indicate technique (black or red-figure technique)	…..	Archaic
Kouros	…..	…..
Kore​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
Diskobolos ______________ sculptor’s name

The Three Goddesses From _________ Phidian style
Doryphoros by __________ sculptor’s name

Augustus of _________ (Place where found)
Marcus Aurelius
Head of Constantine (Colossus of Constantine)
Catacomb of Priscilla in Rome		N/A
Church of San Vitale in ___________ City? Country?		N/A
Justinian and Attendants Mosaic from this church		N/A
Church of Hagia Sophia *….. Where? Present-day name of city and country		N/A
St. Mark Cathedral _________ (Where?)		N/A

 I do not ask you to remember the exact titles of artworks or spell the artists’ names. Although, it will be very good if you know them.

 Do not forget about the terms. The architectural terms are a must (you have them in your guides).

Colossus of Constantine (remains). Rome, 330 CE

This is the way I would like you to “archive” your knowledge.

Chain of cultural ABC associations:

- Diskobolos , Doryphoros (Spear Bearer), Parthenon... -

-Greece

- Classical period

- 5th century B.C.

Last Exercise! - Use this table and timeline to sum up the information on the leading Greek sculptors of the Classical period.

Greek Classical Sculpture
Sculptor’s Name		Name of sculptural work (Greek or English transl.)	Period	Century
M​ ​_ _ _ _		*…	EARLY Classical	5th century BC
Ph…. Phidian Style		*….	HIGH Classical	….
P…		*…	……. ………….	…
P…		*	LATE Classical	….
L…			……	….

Grading: I will not be checking the correctness of your answers since all answers are in your Guides & Textbook. Instead, I will grade this assignment on completion –giving you the max amount of points. So, it is entirely in your interest to work on the charts in a recommended way.

Give yourself a chance to learn and to succeed on the test!

I can ensure you that knowing the charts and terms will bring you an A or a B.

Note: Aegean civilizations were in the first unit –

I placed them here just to give you a general view

on the development of the Greek civilization.

I will not be asking the exact Years – only major timeline and Periods)

Another memory technique - highlight the rows (titles, etc.) from different periods (or cultures) with different colors (one period/or culture – one color).
