Assignment 1: Discussion QuestionsBy Wednesday, October 29, 2014, respond to the
assigned discussion questions and submit your responses to the appropriate Discussion
Area. Start reviewing and responding to your classmates as early in the week as
possible.Question 1:We have continued our study of the art created by cultures outside of
the West. Like those we studied last week, many of the cultures studied this week also
created monumental works of architecture, but often for very different reasons than what
we saw last week. In 3 well-developed paragraphs locate 2 specific examples of
monumental architecture created by 2 different cultures we studied this week and
discuss:Why do you believe each culture undertook the creation of your selected
monumental work of architecture and sculpture despite the difficulties of accomplishing
them? What can we assume about a work of art without such knowledge?How do the
reasons for their works compare with those of a more modern example of monumental art
work, such as Mount Rushmore, the 9/11 Memorial, etc.?Be sure to explain your ideas
clearly and support them by discussing specific works of art that you have read about this
week, talking about how they illustrate and support your ideas.Question 2:The tradition of
mask-making and masquerade can be found the world over, but no place is it as pervasive,
diverse and rich as found in the traditional arts of West and Central Africa. Although these
masks are often seen as works of art in the West, they typically were not intended to be a
work of art. Interestingly, in many African societies there is not a word for “art.” In 3 well-
developed paragraphs select 3 different traditional African masks, each from a different
African society. Discuss:How is the mask used and what is its purpose?Does putting the
mask on display in some place like an art museum or gallery change what you think of it?Be
sure to explain your ideas clearly and support them by discussing specific works of art that
you have read about this week, talking about how they illustrate and support your
ideas.Respond to both questions as thoroughly as possible, making sure to use information
from the readings and the lectures. All responses should be in complete sentence form,
using proper spelling and grammar.Discussion question responses should be at least a one-
