This is from my APAH class, we're talking about Egypt
1. How does the chest of Tutankhamen exemplify the standards of Egyptian art?
2. Assess the relationship between the Egyptian conception of the afterlife and Egyptian art. Use specific examples.
3. Select an Egyptian building from the Old, Middle, and New Kingdom. Describe them and evaluate their importance to their period and to the history of ancient Egyptian architecture.
4. It is said that the spirit of the Old Kingdom is best expressed in the pyramids, the Middle Kingdom is best expressed in sculpture, and the New Kingdom is best expressed in painting. Does such a statement seem justified to you? Use Examples.
5. Assess the significance of the Amarna Period in relation to the development of Egyptian art. How does it relate to the New Kingdom? Use examples.
6. How does, Hatshepsut with Offering Jars and the Mask of King Tut represent the concept of a pharaoh? Why are the representations significant? Include in your argument the political overtones and artistic changes.
7. How do the pyramids of the Old Kingdom represent the sun and rebirth? How could you argue the pyramids are pieces of architecture designed to promote power and authority?
8. What is the Rosetta Stone and why was its discovery so important?
9. Who was Tiye? How was she portrayed?
10. Compare and contrast Mesopotamian sculpture with Egyptian sculpture both in terms of subject and style. Make sure you choose sculptures of a comparable time period.
