Week 5 Discussion

DQ1 ART AND THE SCIENTIFIC REVOLUTION

In your textbook reading this week (Chapters 10 and 11), you'll be reading about the Scientific Revolution, as well as looking at several styles of art. Please begin by discussing the Scientific Revolution. What was it? How did it begin? What came out of it? Then, focus your discussion on how the Scientific Revolution influenced the art of the period (please make sure you provide examples and insert images so the class can see what you're discussing). As part of your response, discuss the role of this intellectual movement in art.

DQ2 ABSOLUTISM AND THE ENLIGHTENMENT

Religious and monarchical absolutism were the hallmarks of the periods you're reading about this week. What is absolutism? How did the social theories of John Locke and Jean-Jacques Rousseau call absolutism into question? Remember to use concrete examples from the reading for the week to help support your response.
