THOMAS ART100 MODULE 1 ASSIGNMENT

Written Assignment 1

In an essay of approximately 750 words (with a typical font and spacing, this will be approximately 3 pages), respond to the following question. (Your answer may be more than 750 words, but if it is less than that you should be concerned about your grade.)

Using sculptural and ceramic illustrations provided by Soltes, explain the evolution (how did the art change?) from Geometric Greek art into Classical Greek art, culminating with the construction and decoration of the Parthenon (The Temple of Athena). What social, cultural/historic events accompanied and promoted this evolution?

In your answer be sure to include the following words/phrases. (Be certain that you understand what these words mean before you write.)

• sacer and profanus
• symmetria
• ethos and pathos

Do this using ONLY the examples that Soltes discusses and explains in his lectures. Do not use Internet sources for inspiration nor as help.
