Topic Selection: Directional Orientation in Ancient Architecture.
Describe the i
Topic Selection: Directional Orientation in Ancient Architecture.
Describe the intentional placement and orientation (chthonic, solar, lunar, cardinal points, etc.) of significant sacred spaces and monumental architecture from the Paleolithic period to the Egyptian New Kingdom. Select 4 examples chosen from the Prehistoric to Neolithic European era, from the cultures Ancient Near Eastern, and Egyptian architecture from the Old, Middle, and/or New Kingdom. Describe the structure’s general orientation and the significance of that orientation for the culture that created it. Give the title, culture, and approximate date of each monument discussed, and develop a compare / contrast essay that provides a general explanation about the orientation / location of the monument. What meaning and importance did orientation have within that particular culture at that time?
Select Examples: After you choose one topic from the selection given above, think carefully about the art or architecture examples that will clearly address the specific topic. Be sure to choose examples from a variety of style periods surveyed in this unit. Don’t choose more than
one example from a single style period (for example, don’t select all your examples from Egyptian Art). Usually if you choose your examples wisely the essay will be easy to write. You can choose any work of art or architecture that has been featured in the class lectures on Paleolithic,
Neolithic, Sumerian, Akkadian, Assyrian, Babylonian, Persian, and Egyptian art. These works will also be highlighted in the textbook and Smarthistory videos and articles from our course Canvas site and will provide enough information for you to write the essay.
• Describe the Works: After a brief introduction to the general topic you chose, describe the first work (usually the work that occurs first chronologically). Give the time period, the date, and the culture associated with the work. Use art vocabulary to describe the material it was made with (was this material typical for that culture?), how it was made (was this innovative in any way?), and the artist’s name if known. Is the work large or small and what meaning does this convey?
• Relate the Individual Works to the Essay Topic and To Each Other : Highlight how each of the examples differently address the general topic of the essay. Do they show a difference in cultural values, available materials, for that culture? Make a few comparisons and contrasts
between the works themselves. If you omit this aspect from your essay you are essentially just providing a list of works. Make sure you explain how the examples relate to the theme rather than making the reader do this. As a rule of thumb, write about ¾ of a page on each example, which will include the description and relating the example to the general topic.

FOR TODAY’S CLASS:
Be sure to understand the common features of these Northern European altarpieces so you can recognize them in the examples we see in class.
How do you see oil paint playing out in the works of art examined for class today?
You must be sure to take away the main points from Barbara Lane’s article (linked above) that examines Rogier van der Weyden’s Last Judgment Altarpiece. In particular, how does the context of where it was displayed determine the type of audience and the message delivered to that audience?

Based on the films screened in class and the readings covered till week 7, write
Based on the films screened in class and the readings covered till week 7, write an essay on how African films can be viewed as “the night school of the people.” From your perspective, how did African filmmakers try to present histories of African freedom struggles, the emergence of new democracies in Africa, and African postcolonial lives and lifeworlds? How did some historical fiction and newsreel films inform or challenge your understanding of African political history, social practices, and histories? And how were they different from Western systems of representation of Africa and Africans? Please cite at least three-four examples from the films that you have watched in class, and you must also reference at least three texts. You can also mention scenes that have specifically informed or altered your visual perception of Africa.
You are expected to write a well-formulated essay (5-pages double spaced, Times New Roman, size 12, 1-inch margin). Your references and citation will be included in the 6th page. Remember to title your essay
Your term paper submission will be graded on the following:
Quality of description
Research and thematic approach
Comparative analysis of films
Use and understanding of relevant contexts and examples of African cinema. Include at least (3-4 different sources from films) watched in class. And at least three citations from in-class readings. You can use additional external sources to augment your arguments, but do cite them properly.
