Discussion Questions

 In the textbook, emphasis is placed on a criterion of intentional
  manipulation of an object in order for it to be classified as
  “art.” Is this criterion valid? What is your definition of art?
 Why do you think that images of man were less prevalent in
  Paleolithic art than those of women?
 What accounts for the lifestyle changes? How did lifestyle
  changes between Paleolithic and Neolithic populations affect
  art and architecture?
 How is the human figure presented differently in the Paleolithic
  to the Neolithic periods? Are there any similarities in the
  representation of the human figure between the two periods?


                                                                      30
