Art Not applicable

Any topic (writer’s choice)

Definition question”
In a few sentences, using examples from your own life, define cultural capital.

Short answer:
In no more than half a page, double spaced, per question answer the following 2 questions fully:
1. Why do we need to consider both artwork and archaeological excavation when analyzing ancient Moche culture? How was both art and archaeology used together to understand the burial discussed in class?
2. What evidence is there to suggest that the Chartres Cathedral is the birth place of the cult of the Virgin Mary? Use multiple forms of evidence in your discussion. In what ways was this cult drawing from the pagan religion that existed there beforehand?

(These three questions above would just need one page, the rest of them are for three essay questions below)

Essay Questions:
1. Is art inherently political? Use at least 3 specific examples of different cultures covered in this course to argue either for or against this idea, pointing to specific elements of the artwork made by the cultures you selected. Be sure to build a strong argument and demonstrate why the elements of the cultures you are discussing support your thesis. (You will use Terracotta Warriors, Egyptian Sculptures, and George Floyd)

2.How was ancient artwork used by rulers to help solidify their own power and the dominant religion of the time? Use 3 specific examples from different cultures we covered in class and in the readings, referencing specific artworks, and point out the similarities and differences between the different cultures. (Use Egyptian culture, Copan culture, and still Terracotta Warriors)

3. In the last several weeks, we covered more contemporary artwork. Discuss the art of the Capitol building, the confederate monuments, and the colonial nature of museums to demonstrate how art and the display of art were used by western cultures to justify the terrible treatment of people of color. Be sure to use specific examples in your discussion. (Use confederate statue and one more of your choice)
