• Compare and contrast how the depiction of the human figure has changed. Be sure to note such things as general appearance of the figures; their body types; whether the figures have been stylized, elongated, or idealized; and whether their clothing, colors, and other visual details have changed.
• Based on your reading and what you learned from the historic facts you have for each work of art discuss what may have been influencing factors behind these changes.
• Offer a citation of your sources for each image and the information provided as appropriate.
