In this first portion of the
assignment you are asked to analyze the iconography of the artworks
listed below. Defined in the textbook, iconography is an
understanding of the subject matter and symbols of an artwork
(Stokstad and Cothern, 2016, pg. 6). Based on your
understanding of the cultures and time periods you have encountered
over the past 4 lessons of textbook readings, analyze the following
artworks in terms of their iconography.
Part
B
Compare and contrast the function of the above works. Focus your
analysis on how each artwork functioned spiritually and/or
politically in their original context. Your discussion should
include the importance of the artwork at the time of its creation
for the viewer at that time. For instance, you could address issues
such as, was the artwork used as a visual teaching of a concept,
was it used as an historical record to document an event? Compare
and contrast the function of the four artworks and distinguish the
connections that can be made, pointing out patterns you find.
Conclude your essay with a short
discussion on the use of symbols in the 21st century to
communicate, applying what you learned regarding the use of
symbolic imagery throughout the centuries of art studied in the
past 4 weeks. (Think of advertising logos or emojis etc. when
considering 21st century examples.)
