To prepare for this homework view the video History and Memory and review the text before beginning this homework.

Now open the homework, and read the questions. I recommend that you copy them and paste into Word or another word processing document.

Then go to this  (Links to an external site.) Compare Art page from Art Through Time (Links to an external site.)  and this Compare Art page from Art Through Time (Links to an external site.) page. Each is a different pair of images

Read the information carefully. You will also need to read details about each image. Do NOT skip this step. The links to the details are found on the right hand side of the Compare page, listed by their title.   You may also use your text or other resources to support your answers Now answer the questions. Reply in fully developed, thoughtful sentences, at least three sentences per question.

And allow yourself plenty of time. It is important they are completely answered, and supported by references to appropriate images.

IMPORTANT: As tempting as it might be, do NOT use the phrase “a picture is worth 1000 words” in the answers to any of these questions – or any others in the course. It is never the right answer or part of an answer.

Question 1

Using these two works found in this link (Links to an external site.), as case studies answer these questions, referencing the two works to support your answer:

· What do you think are the advantages and disadvantages of a subject telling his or her own story through art?

· What do you think are the advantages and disadvantages of a subject hiring a third party to tell that story?

Question 2

Here is another pair of images (Links to an external site.) from the video, and video text. Look at the page and the detail about the images by clicking on the title’s link on the right. .This is important because what you think might be true or accurate in an image may not be.

How does each of these works of art relate to the event it depicts? Be specific.

Question 3

Here is the same pair of images (Links to an external site.) from the video, and video text. Look at the page and the detail about the images by clicking on each.This is important because what you think might be true or accurate in an image may not be.

Many people tend to think about photographs as more “realistic” or “true” to events than painting or other art forms. Do you think this is an accurate assessment? Why or why not? Use examples from the video or elsewhere (text or web) to support your view.
