Santa Monica College WK4 Ancient Greece Depiction of the Female Body Paper
Humanities
These are the two questions I have to answer:
Discuss art/architecture and death in ancient Egypt, using 3 examples to support your claims. Be sure to discuss your examples in depth, using lots of relevant detail. What did Egyptians believe about death and the afterlife and how do the works of art/architecture you chose relate to these beliefs? Your response should be at least 3 paragraphs long (one for each example).
Using 3 examples from the Study Materials, discuss the development of naturalism in depictions of the FEMALE body in ancient Greece. What changes do we see and why? Be sure to discuss any influences you can identify and any relevant philosophical changes that may underpin these artistic changes we see. You’ll want to identify the period that each example comes from (archaic, hellenistic, etc) and relate the style of this period to the works of art you are discussing. Your response should be 3 paragraphs long (one for each example).
