Art History Assignment Paper<\/h2>\n
For Every module, you are required to know certain\u00a0images which you will be responsible for knowing on the exam. Each image (or series of images) will have its own\u00a0discussion\u00a0thread that I\u00a0have\u00a0posted that you can reply to and post information about that image. \u00a0If there are more than one image attached to the post, it is because they are related to each other. Use your best judgement on which image to pick. \u00a0You are essentially making a study guide for you and your peers so if you see that a post already has many people who\u00a0have\u00a0worked on it, pick a different one.<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
REPLY TO THE IMAGE\u00a0that you want to post the below information about and reply to the post that you are\u00a0reviewing if you want to make a review. \u00a0If you\u00a0have\u00a0questions about this assignment, post them in the ASK THE PROF for this module.<\/strong><\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
IMAGES- you must select one image that you will master and post information for your peers.\u00a0\u00a0You can earn up to 20 points per chapter.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Do not assume that you will earn 5 points for each.\u00a0\u00a0You can only earn up to 20 points per chapter for images even though the rubric below adds up to 25. This acts as an insurance that if you do all of it adequately you will be able to earn full credit. Here is the rubric on how I will be assigning points:<\/strong>1 Description-\u00a0 describe what you see- imagine that the person you are describing it to is not there or is blind.\u00a0 How will you make the work of art visible through verbal description? (5 Points Possible)<\/p>\n

2 Summary- summarize what you think are the most important pieces of information that you gleaned from the textbook- read the book closely and put it in your own words. (5 Points Possible)<\/p>\n

3 Research- go online and find additional information about the image and provide the links for that information for your peers. Make sure to summarize and do not simply cut and paste or give us just the URLs.\u00a0 (5 Points Possible)<\/p>\n

4 Contemporary Culture- relate the theme to something that you find in our current visual vernacular on popular culture. \u00a0This could include a recent article, an appropriation of the image in a contemporary setting. \u00a0If there is an image in our contemporary culture that relates, post the image as well. Why is this image relevant today? (5 Points Possible)<\/p>\n

5 Peer Review- review someone else\u2019s IMAGES post and post a review both positive and negative.\u00a0 Offer additional insights and comment on what you learned from their post. \u00a0Review an image that you did not work on. \u00a0(5 Points Possible)<\/p>\n

HOMEWORK! Ancient Near East<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Instructions<\/h2>\n
\n

The questions that you will be asked are below. \u00a0Feel free to construct your answers in a word processor and copy over to take and submit. \u00a0You will be able to take it multiple times, but I will only grade your last submission.<\/p>\n

1.Even without television advertising and Press Secretaries, ancient Near Eastern rulers did a fine job of self-promotion. Which examples of art do you feel best communicated the rulers’ power to their people? What leadership qualities did they present in their imagery?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2.In this chapter we have depictions of gods along with humans.\u00a0 Use examples from the chapter to explain how works of art embody the different and varied roles of humans and their gods within the ancient near east.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3.Your textbook mentions that many world religions employ buildings that reach up into the sky, illustrating their belief that deities inhabit the heavens. What other purpose may lie behind the interest in building large religious structures?\u00a0Pick two examples and relate them in terms of their physical form and their function within society. (Compare and contrast the formal strategies. Identify the features their architecture share.
\nExplain the significance of scale and height in the art and architecture.<\/p>\n

4.Let\u2019s think about geography and technology and art. How is the frequent political instability visible in ancient Near Eastern art and architecture? Describe at least three different building technologies employed by architects working in the ancient Near East.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

5.Take a moment to think about what life must have been like before cuneiform writing first recorded such mundane information as trade records and bureaucratic documents. Why do you think these routine documents had such a profound impact on early civilizations? How does writing influence our understanding and interpretation of the art in this chapter?\u00a0 Pick an exemplary work of art that displays this relation between text and image.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

6.Click on the link below and watch the video before answering the questions
\nhttp:\/\/academic.cengage.com\/art\/book_content\/0155050907_kleiner\/0495573558_premium\/podcasts\/Ancient\/StandardofUr\/index.html\u00a0(Links to an external site.)<\/span>Links to an external site.<\/span><\/span>
\nOne misconception is that naturalism in depicting the human form is evidence of a more advanced civilization.\u00a0 Even though the Standard of Ur shows rather stylized and un-naturalistic depictions of the human figure, argue for its indication of an advanced civilization based on the conventions utilized within it.\u00a0 What do you think is the most important development in visual communication within the artwork?
\nAfter the discovery of the Royal Cemetery in the 1920\u2019s and the uncovering of nearby monuments, there was a flood of interest in the near-east and a complete rethinking of the culture and time period.\u00a0 Previously ancient Egypt was thought to be the oldest advanced civilization and now that honor belonged to the Sumerians.<\/p>\n

  1. Find the website on at the Metropolitan Museum in New York titled “ART OF THE FIRST CITIES”.\u00a0 http:\/\/www.metmuseum.org\/toah\/hd\/trdm\/hd_trdm.htm
    \nThen take a look at the British Museum\u2019s virtual exhibition of Ancient Near Eastern art. Currently this I found by clicking on the explore then galleries tab from the top toolbar of the website and scrolling down to the middle east. What are the most useful aspects of each website? If you were in charge of web development, what would you develop?\u00a0 Briefly outline a resource that you think would be helpful for students of art history for this chapter.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
