DATE: Friday, November 24th, 2017

Format:

Part 1: Slide Identification (Knowledge - 10 marks)
You will be shown 10 slides that we have studied.  I could ask you to identify the artist, title, medium (what it is made out of), or art period (i.e Egyptian, Greek or Roman).  

NOTE: If we do not know the artist, please write "unknown" instead of leaving it blank.

Part 2: Identify the Art Period (Thinking - 10 marks)
​You will be shown 2 slides that we have NOT studied in class.  You will use an educated guess to identify the art period that believe each it is from (only Egyptian, Greek or Roman).  You must provide 2 reasons to support your answer.  Apply your knowledge of the Art Period characteristics in your answer.

What to Study:

Study only slides #1-24, covering the following art periods...
  • Egyptian
  • Greek
  • Roman
Memorize the names of artists (if known), the titles, and the mediums for each piece - practice using Quizlet.

Be able to categorize the images according to what period they are from.  

Also, (for part 2) be familiar with key characteristics of the art periods will help you make an educated guess and support your answer.
