 HUM1001 History of Art through the Middle Ages SU01

Artistic Change in Sculpture

Relative to human history, the period covered in this week’s study is long. During this lengthy span of years, not only did people change in appearance, but the way they lived also changed radically. What we have found of their art and architecture also demonstrates an evolution in these areas.

Using your eBook, find one example of sculpture from each of the following periods: Paleolithic, Neolithic, and Bronze OR Iron Age.

View these sculpture pieces carefully. Capture an image of each of the three sculptures and place them in chronological order, from oldest to newest, in this template. Then, using information from your textbook, lectures, and other appropriate academic sources, provide the following regarding each image:

  1. The title of the work, its location, the materials used to create the work (if known), and the date.
  2. A brief assessment of the visual properties you observe. Describe the types of lines, shapes, colors and textures (actual and perceived) the artist has used.
  3. An analysis of the formal structure of each piece. What is the meaning or importance of how the artist has arranged, organized, or structured the visual elements in the image?
  4. The natural subject of each piece. Based on your textbook reading and Internet research, are there any details that have a symbolic meaning? If so, what?
  5. A five- to seven-sentence paragraph that discusses the cultural context of each work, based on what you have learned through your textbook reading, the online lectures, and Internet research. What do the images tell you about the culture and the people who created them?
  6. List of references, including the specific websites where you found the images.

HUM1001 History of Art through the Middle Ages SU01

It has been suggested that the art of Mesopotamia often contains elements that can be seen as fearsome, militant, or political in nature, while the art of the ancient Aegean is more harmonious, exuberant, and non-threatening. Using your textbook, carefully examine the art from both places.

Ancient Near East (Mesopotamia)

Choose three examples from the art of the ancient Near East that either prove or disprove the statement that the art of this region can be seen as fearsome, militant, or political in nature. Capture each image and place it in the Word document provided for this assignment. For each example, you will need to provide the following information: The title of the work, its date, its place of origin, a detailed description as to what you see being depicted in the work of art, 3–5 sentences as to the work’s historical value, and 4–7 sentences as to how this work of art proves or disproves the idea that art of this region is fearsome, militant, or political in nature.

The Ancient Aegean

Choose three examples from the art of the ancient Aegean that either prove or disprove the statement about the nature of the art from this region—that it is often viewed as harmonious, exuberant, and non-threatening. Capture each image and place it in the Word document provided for this assignment. Like with your selections for Mesopotamia, you need to provide the following information for each work of art: The title of the work, its date, its place of origin, a detailed description as to what you see being depicted in the work of art, 3–5 sentences as to the work’s historical value, and 4–7 sentences as to how this work of art proves or disproves the idea that art of this region is harmonious, exuberant, and non-threatening.
