Visit the following websites and explore the collections of Ancient Art there:

•The Metropolitan Museum of Art
•The Louvre Museum
•The Smithsonian Institution Freer Gallery and Sackler Gallery 
See the Course Materials List for access to these sites.

From the gallery websites listed above, and available through the Course Materials List, select two works of art from any ancient culture. Using the terminology and concepts you are learning for evaluating art, compare and contrast the two works including materials used, style, meaning, symbolism, and any other aesthetic issues. Explain how the works of art fit into the context of the time period. Keep in mind that only art works that fit into the period of Ancient Art (created between 30,000 BCE- 500 CE) will be accepted.
