Consider these questions when discussing the artworks:
How is the figure’s identity or social standing conveyed to the viewer? Is this accomplished through placement, symbols, or his/her interaction with other figures in the scene or the viewer?
What features or characteristics do these works share?
How is the spatial environment represented? Is it two-dimensional or three-dimensional, realistic or fantastic? Include details or examples that defend your choices.
What are the central figures’ social responsibilities and how are they represented? Do they set an example to all members of their society or represent unique roles shared by a certain few?
