Choose one Ancient Greek or Ancient Roman building from the list below and pair it with one building in Los Angeles. Then write a compare and contrast essay. How are the building similar? How are they different? Be sure to discuss function. How is each building used? Who uses it? What are the materials? Architectural details? Organization of the building?

As with the other compare and contrast essays, you must discuss the works together. So if you talk about the material of one building, you need to talk about the material of the other building right after.

How are objects similar?” and “How are objects different?”So why is the theme of athletics and the body important? How does each artwork depict the human body? Why?

To read about the pair click on the following links: Discobolus (
https://smarthistory.org/myron-discobolus-discus-thrower/ ) and Boxer at Rest ( https://smarthistory.org/apollonius-boxer-at-rest/ )

The comparison essay should answer the question, “How are objects similar?” and “How are objects different?” The key to a good compare and contrast essay is to organize the sentences by theme where both works of art are discussed all the way through. What are the themes? You can choose any of the formal qualities – such as style, material, size, use of line, etc. that you already read about in Assignment #6. You also should include a discussion of the objects’ functions and meanings. So why is the theme of athletics and the body important? How does each artwork depict the human body? Why?

The essay pair should be minimum two pages in length,
Single-Spaced,
Times New Roman,
12 point font, 1 inch margins.

Remember, the most important thing is to discuss the works together. So for example, if you make a point that the subject matter is similar – you need to explain why that is important and talk about both works together. Or if the subject matter is different – why is it different? what is being portrayed in each work?

Art Project 4

Checklist:

Refer to the Instructions for Phase 1, Phase 2, and Phase 3 for more-complete descriptions of all of the required items for your “journal.”

Your file submission in this assignment must be a single PDF file — a document containing a series of 3 images, each with accompanying written sections as follows:

Image 1

Created according to the Instructions for Phase 1.

Writing to accompany Image 1

You should include answers to the following questions, about this first image:

Which object did you choose to work with?

(from the list of five potential astronomical objects)

In just a couple of sentences, briefly describe what differences you can see between how the object looks across the three separate images included.

(Suggestions: You might look for such things as stars or other small features that are extra-bright in one wavelength and dimmer in others, or clouds of gas or dust that are overall brighter in one image than another. Your description can be very general, focusing on appearances only and not concerned with scientific interpretation of why there are those differences; that’s in the next question.)

Again, in just a couple of sentences, briefly consider the reason for visible differences between one wavelength image’s contents versus another’s.

(Hints: Recall previous lessons on the relationship between temperature and color, of stars’ ages, and — if applicable — of where in galaxies certain kinds of stars are more likely to be found.)

Image 2

Created according to the Instructions for Phase 2.

Writing to accompany Image 2

You should include answers to the following questions, about this second image:

Why did you make your choices for hue/saturation/lightness for your second image?

Are any particular details more or less visible in your Image 2 than in Image 1?

Image 3

Created according to the Instructions for Phase 3.

Written Statement for Image 3

This should be at least 200 words for full credit. It should describe your original composition, the component images, colors, and your overall theme:

Identify the individual images used in your overall composition. What theme ties them together?

Describe why you chose the specific colors assigned to each image layer. How do they look, together?
