Category: Art : Art History

In this assignment, you will construct a timeline, placing the cultures covered in this week’s reading in the appropriate place on a chronological timeline and global map.
See the attached document for complete instructions and grading rubric.

Discussion Board Statement: These discussions are meant for you to jot down your thoughts and analyses of the works of the week. In art, everything is evaluated by your perspective. There is no right or wrong answer to be graded against; instead, you will be graded on how you defend your analysis of the art pieces and the use of the resources (when appropriate).
Consider a building like the ancient Roman Colosseum or the Pantheon. The history of these buildings is incredibly well-documented. Through drawings and written records, we know what the Pantheon looked like when it was new, and blue and gold paint adorned its ceiling. We know what the Colosseum looked like before it sustained significant damage in a 1349 earthquake.
Consider these two examples as you think about the roles of art preservationists and restorers. Then, select a different piece of art or architecture from this week’s reading to write about.
What is the best way to present this ancient piece of art?
What presentation will give today’s viewers the clearest and most honest picture of the past?
Should we present an old piece of art with no (or limited) restoration? Maintaining the integrity of the original artifact?
Should we use our contextual information about the piece to make it look as it did in its own time?
Should we restore to provide context but use a different material – allowing the viewer to easily distinguish between the hand of the ancient artist and that of the restorer?
How might our modern technologies help us create new solutions to this issue?

The artistic styles developed and refined in ancient Greece are some of the most influential to all of western art. In this week’s discussion board:
Select one piece of Etruscan art and describe which formal elements or processes appear to have been inspired by ancient Greek art. Be as specific as you can.
Include a photograph of your Etruscan selection so your classmates can see exactly which piece of architecture you are writing about.
Explain how your Etruscan selection breaks from the ancient Greek style. Once again, be specific.
Then, consider the lasting influence of ancient Greece as it exists in your community.
Take a picture of a building in your area that appears to be inspired by ancient Greek classical architecture.
Describe what elements derive from ancient Greece, and note which one of the classical orders it most closely relates to.
If you’re having trouble locating a Greek-inspired building in your community, try looking at official buildings like schools, government buildings, banks, and libraries. If you absolutely can’t take a picture of a building yourself, then find an image online from your home state to post. Consider looking at your state capital.

Several issues arise in this week’s unit surrounding the roles of the archaeologist, the museum, and the art and antiquities market.
The Egyptian government is locked in battle with several western museums over the repatriation of prized treasures removed from their country under questionable circumstances.
Ancient Cycladic figures are often difficult to authenticate because archaeologists did not make proper records during their excavations, choosing to quickly turn these finds over on the art market instead.
While looking for the ancient city of Troy, Henrich Schliemann employed careless excavation techniques (including dynamite!), digging too far down and destroying many layers of the archaeological record.
With at least one of these issues in mind, consider the role of the archaeologist in art history.
What are some practices that you think should be adopted by modern archaeologists to ensure a future in archaeology that is safe, trustworthy, and equitable?
What is the best course of action to reverse some of the damage already done?
