“ART HISTORY” Help me !?
1.The Lion Gate of Mycenae which is in southern Greece, is typical of the megalithic architecture of the same period using mosaic covered wooden beams to relieve some of the weight of the arch.
True
False
2.From pottery to painting to sculpture, Greeks moved toward portraying the human figure and the rest of the world with more true to life realism, as we actually see it.
True
False
3.The practice of cremation where the body of the deceased was burned in a ceremonial fire and the ashes were then deposited into a funerary vase was practiced widely in Greece.
True
False
4.The Peplos Kore sculpture of a woman, found on the Acropolis in Athens, is named “peplos” because it represented the seafaring culture of the Peplos Island.
True
False
5. A unique Greek krater, called the Francois Vase, displays the Geometric Style of registers to tell a story and it is one of the first such vessels to exhibit the name of both the potter and the painter who made it.
True
False
Okay, seriously. Read some of the textbook and you’ll do fine.
Here…
1. decipher the word “megalithic” and you should have the answer you seek. Remember that “lith” translates to STONE.
2. The Greeks invented beauty as an ideal. Consider that statement, use our dictionary if you have to in order to understand the importance of “ideals” with regards to “realism”.
3. Consider the funeral sites found at Mycenae and the gold items discovered there.
4. Use Wikipedia or some other reference to look up the word “peplos”. That will answer the question for you.
5. It’s been so long, I can’t remember this one. I have to look it up, so you should to.
I hate it when people just ask for fish instead of making the effort to learn how to fish themselves.
