Journal 2A

• Consider the purpose and role of the papal bulls and the Requerimiento in shaping HOW colonization took place.
• How did these written edicts influence the approach and the attitude (or position) of the Spanish when they made contact with indigenous cultures in South America? How did these documents shape how the conquistadors and priests behaved when they made contact with the Americas?
• Incorporate at least one quotation from the Requerimiento in your response

Journal 2B 

• Of the many things represented or expressed by these paintings, they are a record of the role of race or ethnic heritage in cultural attitudes and values during the Spanish colonial period in South America.
• Yet, if we observe closely, gender roles and economic class structures also are at play in these paintings along with the cultural status they represent.
• What do these casta paintings as a whole express or represent about the social context of colonial culture in South America? Refer to at least one specific painting to support your view.
• You also may include one of the formal art analysis terms from the previous module to continue that practice, yet the focus of this journal should be on discussing how the image helps us understand and interpret the cultural context.
