ARTS 1A: Group Analysis 2
Continuity and change
Let’s consider artistic continuity and change. As you take notes on the presentation for
Topic 2, consider the second analysis exercise regarding the pair of cups by Ehren Tool
and the artistic team of Pamphaios and the Nikosthenes Painter. The question reads as
follows:
While comparing these cups, consider the thousands of years that separates their
creation. How does the imagery on the cups indicate that warfare has changed
over the centuries? How does the imagery on the cups indicate that warfare has
remained the same?
For our second group analysis, respond to the questions above. While you will no doubt
have a ready opinion about warfare, the key here is to root your response in the details of
the cups themselves.
In other words, base your response on what you see in these works of art, while at the
same time allowing your opinions to shine through.
You may post a comment independent of other students’ ideas, or you may add to the
posts of other students as you work to acquire up to two points of discussion credit for
participation in this Group Analysis.
If you have an opinion that is different from the opinions of your classmates—and you
probably will—use respectful language in stating your ideas.
