Choose ONE of the questions below and answer it in an essay that is between 3 and 4 pages long. Use specific examples of works of art and architecture which we have looked at in class and that are relevant to your argument.
(Typed, 12 pt font, double spaced, Times New Roman/Arial, 1 inch margins)
1. Ancient Official Portraiture: Choose three rulers (from Mesopotamia and/or Egypt) and discuss one portrait of each ruler. Analyze what the portraits convey about each ruler (as an individual and as a leader) and the images they wished to project of themselves (Consider form and function).
2. The Evolution of Egyptian Funerary Practices: Describe the evolution of funerary practices in Ancient Egypt with regards to art and/or architecture. Use between 3 and 6 examples to illustrate change over time and analyze what they reflect about the culture in which they were made.
3. Sculpture in Egypt and Greece: Using 4-6 works of art that we have examined in class, compare and contrast Egyptian sculpture with Greek sculpture. Through analysis of the works you have chosen, illustrate what each culture hoped to achieve through sculpture and how these works reflect the inherently different attitudes of the two cultures.
