Writing
a 3-4 page essay, discuss, from your HW chapter homework assignments, which works that you consider the three most innovative artworks or buildings from the Prehistoric Period through the Late Gothic periods (30,000 BCE to the 1200s CE) (chapters 1 through 13 of Gardner’s Art Through the Ages). Your three choices must come from the course textbook and the works we studied in class. You will choose any works from your Homework lists (only), and only one work from a chapter.
Answer the following questions in a well crafted essay (that includes an Introduction, Body and Conclusion).
1) Why do you consider them the most innovative works? What about them is innovative?
2) How did they influence later artists? Who were the later artists that they influenced?
Describe and explain each of your choices fully (including their formal elements). Include specific artists, titles, dates and styles, and use terms from your textbook to illustrate your points.
