Problem 1) African Portrait:
Discuss: Reflect on the three portrait heads from Africa (Nok Head, Benin Head, Male Portrait Head from Nigeria, page 338) to emphasize the various types of stylistic representation from realism to idealization to abstraction. Also discuss the variety of materials used for each portrait.
Problem 2) Asian Sculpture:
Compare and contrast Hindu and Buddhist sculpture. Which style suggests movement and which suggests a feeling of rest? How are these sculpture styles a reflection of the religious practices they represent?
