Looking at the examples of art in this chapter, what does it tell us about the societies of the time? Discuss if the art is purely decorative or whether it served political purposes; speculate on what it says about the perception man had of himself and his surroundings? Give specific examples to illustrate your point
What will be an ideal response?
.Ans: The answers will vary somewhat when discussing decoration and self-perception, but the answers should include a thoughtful discussion of bodily postures, for example their formality and the position of the fingers, and the use of animals. A good answer will include a discussion of how the powerful men of the time were represented. The Frieze at Persepolis and the relief of the Conquest of Lachish should be mentioned.
