Carving with stone tools to create a deep relief on the top and sides. How to know: Aztecs are a very old civilization, for them to make carvings like this, they would have to use stone tools (obsidian would break).
The work shown was created using which of the following techniques commonly used in Aztec art?
The shape of the bags was inspired by those carried by European soldiers to store ammunition. How to remember: it’s in the name, it’s a bandolier bag, it’s meant to hold ammunition.
Which characteristic of the Lenape bandolier bags reflects an influence from an outside culture?
A projecting navel. How to remember: while the artwork depicted has a small projecting navel, most of these statues have a big box which stores different things like medicine.
The work shown most strongly emphasizes a connection to ancestors through the depiction of
Prehistoric pottery sherds found in the Southwest during the early twentieth century. How to remember: We know this takes place in either the southwest or southern midwestern because of the deportations from Native homelands, and so from that location, we can assume this is the correct answer.
The designs used for San Ildefonso black-on-black pottery reflects the influence of which of the following traditions?
A sacred cella that contained votive figures or cult statues. How to remember: Both places are for religious purposes, and so that means it has to be a religious option. The only other option to do with religion was a staircase to an inner area, but I know the Parthenon is one layer, and so it can’t have a staircase.
The Parthenon and the White Temple at Uruk both included which of the following architectural features?
graceful linearity. How to remember: the arms of the woman on the right are diagonal lines pointing towards the main subject.
The painting is noteworthy for its
increasing the height of the dome and adding buttresses. How to remember: a buttress is a defensive/protective structure, and a buttress in art adds stability, so it makes sense that you would be making the dome more stable with them. You can also see the buttresses in the second picture.
The images show an exterior and an interior view of Hagia Sophia.
After the original dome of Hagia Sophia collapsed in 558 C.E., its architects responded by
Pontormo. This is just memorization, I’m bad with names.
Name the artist:
a carved pyxis, which once held containers of fragrant perfume. How to remember: the container is meant to emit the smell of perfume, and upon closer inspection, we can see a lot of small holes in the container. By seeing these holes, we can know that the container is meant to smell good, like perfume.
The work shown is an example of
appreciate the relationships and interactions between colors, which are not intended to be representative. How to remember: The Bay only has 3 colours: brown, green, and blue. This can indicate to us that the painting isn’t natural at all, and is meant to look at the relationship between those colours.
In The Bay, Helen Frankenthaler created a large-scale work that invites the viewer to
Psychological states. How to remember: THis is clear with the scream, as it is obviously a painting about stress and despair. The other artwork is like a state of love, happiness, and joy. It looks like what I think being on LSD would look like, which is a very psychedelic drug.
Both artists show an interest in
