Discussion Board Statement:
These discussions are meant for you to jot down your thoughts and analyses of the works of the week. In art, everything is evaluated by your perspective. There is no right or wrong answer to be graded against; instead, you will be graded on how you defend your analysis of the art pieces and the use of the resources (when appropriate).
After you have completed this week’s reading, consider the changes in art that occurred alongside the changes in socio-political development from prehistoric Europe to ancient Mesopotamia and Persia.
- How does art evolve in its design and purpose to keep pace with social change?
- How does your definition of art allow for this kind of change?
