Review for AP Art History Final Units 1 and 2

How does the content of the painting shown differ from the Caves as Lascaux?

• It depicts numerous humans.

• It was created with different pigments.

• It depicts specific figures, rather than symbolic.

• It contains a primitive language.

The purpose for the figure shown was probably a

• decoration for temple precinct.

• marker for trade routes.

• prediction of eclipses and other celestial observations.

• burial/memorializing marker.

Stonehenge was initially created by a Neolithic culture that can best be described as

• a society of loosely connected groups of migratory hunter-gatherers

• a society of early farmers who lived in nearby agricultural settlements

• an urbanized society concentrated in fortified towns along an important trade route

• a stratified society arranged around administrative centers inhabited by the elite

The statues shown above functioned as

• representations of the royal family using hierarchy of scale.

• representations of the priests and vestal virgins who served the local ruler and god.

• representations of the gods of Ancient Sumer.

• representations of patrons who wanted to show their reverence to the gods in their temple.

The work shown can be identified as

• the Apollo 11 stones from Namibia, created c. 25,500–25,300 B.C.E.

• a section of the Great Hall of the Bulls at Lascaux, created 15,000–13,000 B.C.E.

• the Ambum Stone from Papua New Guinea, created c. 1500 B.C.E.

• a Lapita terra cotta fragment from the Solomon Islands, created 1000 B.C.E.

Both images above, separated in time by 400 years, are similar because

• the sculptors used hierarchy of scale.

• the sculptors depict the ruler receiving his power from a god.

• the sculptors both used bas relief.

• the sculptors depict the ruler stylistically.

In its original function, the work is most similar to the

• Palette of King Narmer

• Great Pyramids (Menkaura, Khafre, Khufu) and Great Sphinx

• Temple of Amun-Re and Hypostyle Hall

• sculpture of Akhenaton, Nefertiti, and three daughters

In the work shown from the Amarna period, the use of sunken-relief carving creates strong contours that accentuate the figure’s

• curvilinear form and elongated features

• rectilinear form and rigid, frontal pose

• formal balance and naturalistic proportions

• conventional pose and archaic smile

The work shown can be attributed to the style of Hellenistic Greece because of which of the following characteristics?

• The use of a canon of proportions to produce a perfected male form

• The depiction of the psychological effects of defeat to elicit an emotional response from the viewer

• The stylized treatment of the body to make it appropriate for use in a timeless funerary context

• The inclusion of exaggerated signs of intense aging to foster respect for wisdom and experience

The temple depicted is meant to

• be a platform that doubles for defense in times of war.

• reflect the sun and provide a cool place for visitors to enter.

• entrap those who tried to plunder it.

• harmonize with its landscape.
