Take an original photograph of any subject matter to use for this assignment.  In your sketchbook, create a series of artworks that move from a realistic or representational image to an utterly non-representational image based on or inspired by the original photograph.  You may use any materials to incorporate the elements of art, including color, with this assignment.  You will submit a total of 3 images:

Questions
1.  Compare the roles of women in three western cultures (see above) before 1500 CE to explain which society gave women the most amount of rights and which society gave women the least amount of rights. or 
2. Compare how the human need to adapt to the natural environment influenced government and religion in three western cultures before 1500 CE. or 
3. Compare the relationship between religion, government, and society (social class, economics, gender roles) in three western cultures before 1500 CE. or 
4. Compare how governments worked and justified their authority in relation to such themes as religion, social class, and gender roles in three western cultures before 1500 CE to explain which society had the most successful government and which society had the least successful government. or 
5. Compare how three empires in western civilization before 1500 CE expanded, how they governed their territories, and why they eventually collapsed to explain which empire was the most successful and which empire was the least successful. Please note: By empire, I mean extensive territorial states that expand beyond the cultural homeland of their rulers and in doing so bring other foreign countries, states, and/or cities under their control.  Such empires do not necessarily have emperors or empresses. But this excludes the ancient Sumerians, Egypt before the New Kingdom, the Hebrews, archaic-age and classical Greece, medieval kingdoms, medieval city-states, and other such polities.
