Question 1: Write a historical analysis on the Theotokos from the Hagia Sophia in which you describe the historical time in which this image was created and how that helps us to understand the image better. Again, this might be your only chance to practice writing a historical analysis before the final project so do your absolute best work and I will provide A LOT OF FEEDBACK and there will be an opportunity to re-write after grading.
Question 2: Write a contextual analysis, in which you explain how:
Nizami, The Caliph Harun al-Rashid in the Bath (painting, recto; text, verso), folio from a manuscript of the Khamsa (Makhzan al-Asrar), 1584, manuscript made of Ink, opaque watercolor and gold on paper, 40.1 x 26.1 cm, Harvard, Boston
represents its particular social, historical, and cultural climate, considering the subject matter, iconography, and the function of the object, using examples to support the response.
Again, this might be your only chance to practice writing a contextual analysis before the final project so do your absolute best work and I will provide A LOT OF FEEDBACK and there will be an opportunity to re-write after grading.
