1. Wall Painting with Horses, Rhinoceroses, and Aurochs, Chauvet Cave, Paleolithic art
2. Hall of Bulls, Lascaux Cave, Paleolithic art
Similarities: animals that they hunted, painted for hunting ritual magic?, no humans(don't want to hunt humans?), overlapping, many different orientations/not realistic composition
Differences: Lascaux has twisted perspective/ descriptive approach, chauvet has optical approach/what it really looks like from a single position |

1. the Stele of Naram-Sin, Mesopotamian/Akkadian art
---Did think of their rulers as gods, naram-sin wears horned headdress, hierarchy of scale, he is up by the heavens, he has nagative space around him, he has the honorary inscriptions, he is to be worshipped as a god
2. the Stele of Hammurabi, Mesopotamian/Babylonian art
--- cuneiform inscriptions, hammurabi's law code and punishments, Shamash the sun god in a throne with horned headress, hierarchy of scale, shamash hands authority over to hammurabi who has a gesture of respect. Hammurabi gets his right to rule from the god but he is not a god |

Essay3- Compare and contrast - Both of these statues depict pharaohs that deviate from the norm, but in much different ways. Explain how the artists chose to represent each ruler, keeping in mind both stylistic features and any symbols that might be present. Why did the sculptors make these particular choices? What historic event(s) help explain why the pieces look so radically different?

1. Hatshepsut Kneeling, New Kingdom Egyptian art
---only significant long ruling woman, declared herself a ruler and then to cement her claim to throne she adopts the masculine symbols of power- royal kilt, bare chest, closer to cannon of proportions, headdress
2. Colossal Figure of Akhenaten, New Kingdom Egyptian art – Amarna Period
---the priests of the old gods get too powerful so he changes the religion of Egypt to Atenism which says he is the only priest and the son of the Aten, shows himself in a genderless way because the aten is a genderless god, curved lines in art show up, still has the flail and crook and headdress to show power
Both broke tradition in a way to cement their power |
