Semester exam in Fine Arts Survey: recycled tests and a comparison essay

Old questions from quizzes on this, the class blog, will form the basis for an 80 question test in the fine arts exam.

- Open notes.
- Multiple choice.
- Some questions will be presented verbatim and some will be tweaked.

20 pts will be given to a comparison essay. Students must assemble the research on the topics and write the notes in advance of the exam. The final draft of the essay will be written during the exam period.

Topic choices:

- Societies in which art was pervasive and expert in execution: the Egyptians and the Greeks.

- Artistic and classic style in expression / the parallels between communication through photography and through prose.

- The arts of Jazz and dance: comparing personalities and techniques in the related fields of hot music and hot movement
