Late Classical Art: Alexander the Great
Alexander the Great was the king of Macedonia who conquered much of the known world in the 4th century BCE. He was educated by Aristotle and sought to spread Greek culture throughout his vast empire. Beginning with an invasion of the Persian Empire in 334 BCE, Alexander conquered territories as far as India within just 12 years. His empire was the largest the world had seen up to that point and resulted in the blending of Greek and Near Eastern cultures. Alexander portrayed himself as both a Greek hero and a divine king, as seen in his official portraits depicting him as both idealized and with god-like qualities befitting his unprecedented military successes.
Greek Humanism
During the Greek Archaic period, artists began creating more naturalistic representations of the human form, focusing on ideals of youthful male beauty. Statues of nude kouroi depicted young men with rigid frontal stances as expressions of individualism and human potential. Meanwhile, clothed korai of young women in passive poses reflected their lower status in Greek society. These developments in sculpture emerged from Greece's humanist worldview that placed humanity at the center.
GREECE part 3 de Beaufort
The document summarizes major developments in Greek art and thought during the Late Classical period (404-338 BCE) following the Peloponnesian War. It discusses how Greek art began to focus more on realism and individual subjects rather than idealism. Key artists from this period like Praxiteles and Lysippos are mentioned for introducing naturalism, emotion, and contrapposto poses into their sculptures. The Hellenistic period that followed is summarized as a time of cultural blending and the rise of new dynastic states after Alexander the Great's conquests.
Medieval Theatre - Theatre I
Medieval theatre from 400-1500 CE developed from liturgical drama performed during mass to vernacular plays performed for the public. The Church initially opposed pagan Roman play festivals but then leveraged theatre by incorporating dramatic biblical stories into mass to make it more interesting, such as the Quem Quaeritis Easter trope added in 925 CE. Vernacular plays in the local language later emerged and fell into the three categories of Miracle, Mystery, and Morality plays, which were performed on pageant wagons in the streets. The Church remained in charge of theatre and influenced its use to spread Christianity.
Ancient egypt ppt
The document provides an overview of ancient Egyptian art from the Predynastic and Early Dynastic Periods through the New Kingdom. It describes the major historical periods of ancient Egypt and highlights several key works that exemplify artistic conventions like composite view, hieratic scale, and registers. The document discusses the relationship between art, architecture, and expressions of power and authority. It also examines ideals of idealization versus naturalism and how the human form was depicted over time in ancient Egyptian art.
Late Classical Art: Praxiteles
The Late Classical period in Greece saw changes from the earlier Classical era. Athens was weakened after its defeat in the Peloponnesian War, which ended the golden age of democracy in Greece. Meanwhile, artists like Praxiteles introduced new aesthetic styles, moving away from the heroic idealism of earlier works. Praxiteles' sculptures featured more slender and graceful proportions, with relaxed S-curve poses that humanized divine figures. His nude Aphrodite of Knidos scandalized viewers by depicting a goddess undressed but modest. These subtle evolutions demonstrated the shift toward more sensual representations in the Late Classical period.
Individual Assignment 2- Iconography and Symbolism
This document provides instructions to analyze and summarize a fresco painting from an Egyptian tomb from the 18th Dynasty depicting a fowling scene. The response should: 1) Identify elements of hieratic scale, composite view, and idealism in the painting and comment on the poses' meaning and significance. 2) Describe and explain the symbolic meaning of the river depicted and its importance in Egyptian religion and beliefs about the afterlife. 3) Comment on how contemporary society differs from ancient Egypt and how the scene might be depicted differently today, if at all.
Early Medieval Art: Hiberno-Saxon Manuscript Illumination
Early Medieval Europe: Hiberno-Saxon Manuscript Illumination
In the 6th century, Irish monasteries became centers of learning where monks meticulously hand-copied religious texts with elaborate illustrations, fusing Celtic, Anglo-Saxon, and Byzantine artistic traditions. Two famous examples are the 8th century Lindisfarne Gospels and Book of Kells, featuring intricately decorated pages with interlacing patterns and symbols representing the Four Evangelists. These Hiberno-Saxon manuscripts reflect the merging of Christian and pagan visual cultures in medieval Ireland and Britain.

The Civilization of the Nile River Valley: Egypt
Geography – Isolated by deserts on both sides.
The Nile’s periodic flooding made civilized life possible in Egypt. During drought or famine, Egypt was the place to go because Egypt always has water (cf. the story of Joseph and his brothers in Genesis).
The kingdom was divided into two parts: Lower Egypt and Upper Egypt (Upper Egypt is in the south), with Lower Egypt being a bit more cosmopolitan than Upper Egypt.
Unlike Mesopotamia, stone was plentiful.
2
Pre-Dynastic Egypt: There is some evidence that very early on (3400-3200 BC), Egypt was influenced by Mesopotamia (corresponds to Jemnet Nasr period at Uruk). The evidence includes:
the use of rectangular sun-dried mud-brick in building,
the use of cylinder seals only during this time (Egypt usually used stamp-seals before and after this period),
pictographic writing (the “idea” comes from Mesopotamia),
the idea of kingship, social stratification and specialization,
certain kinds of painted pottery,
and pictures of twisted animals and battling with animals.
This contact may explain Egypt’s sudden explosion into a complex, advanced civilization with writing. The use of mud-brick is peculiar, noting the abundance of stone. There is evidence, however, that the development begins in Upper Egypt (i.e., the south). Two distinct cultures, the Upper, with social stratification and royal artistic expression, etc., and the Lower, with contacts in Palestine, etc.
Egypt seems to go from the Neolithic to a complex civilization overnight. Linear development is not apparent. Agriculture appears to be introduced from outside.
The Pharaoh (the king) is somehow responsible for the yearly success of the Nile. His throne was Isis, the wife of Osiris and the mother of Horus. The king is identified with Horus.
Egypt seeks to portray changeless continuity over thousands of years. This is somewhat true, but not entirely accurate. Ancient Egypt went through a few periods of relative chaos or lack of centralized power. Egypt, however, as is well known, chose not to usually record such periods for posterity.

The royal burial grounds of Saqqara and Giza are located nearby.
The uniting of Egypt is commemorated on the Palette of King Narmer (fig. 2.3)

By Dr. Vinod Kumar KanvariaA Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
