<p>Would they be horrified and give me -2583752 points if I called the Kritios Boy “Kritikos Boy” instead???</p>
<p>^oh i can only imagine the look of horror and disgust my ap art history teacher would have on her face if she read something like that.</p>
<p>It wasn’t nearly as bad as I thought it would be, especially the multiple choice. I’d been studying from REA and the Annotated Mona Lisa and kind of freaking out all morning because I felt so unprepared, but I feel like I’m definitely in the 4-5 range. I’ll only get partial credit on at least one of the five minute writings, but I’m feeling much better walking out of the test than I did walking in. (:</p>
<p>1st long essay: 6-8

<p>chance of me getting a 5?</p>
<p>Hey asinine, I am pretty much in the exact same boat haha. Hoping for a 5! :D</p>
<p>I self studied using the Gardner textbook and REA, and I thought it overprepared me. However I wasnt really sure how much detail to add in the short essays. Is half a page too short for the 5 minute ones?</p>

<p>2nd long essay thre me off. I used paintinfs instead of sculptures. How long where the essays supposed to be? Also, how long were short rssay questions supposed to be?</p>
<p>Both my 30 minutes were around 2 pages. My 10 minutes were all like 3/4 of a page to a page, depending on how much I knew / liked about the work(s). My 5 minutes were, well, pretty friggin’ short.</p>
<p>I have a question regarding the second essay</p>
<p>It’s been 48 hours, so ask away!</p>
<p>gthordonvbosnvfnaewof!</p>
<p>How were we supposed to write a ten minute essay on an upside down urinal :[? I knew the artist and I just wrote about how it got people to start wondering about whether the message behind the piece was more important than the piece itself. Couldn’t think of anything else.</p>
<p>I didn’t know the artist (funny enough my english teacher mentioned it a few weeks ago and talked about it so I knew the rest of the story) Hopefully I got a 2 on that part.</p>
<p>Question:</p>
<p>How many points would I get if I said the Romanesque tympanum was Byzantine (with adequate explanation) and if I said Canon was written by Praxiteles and discussion of a Praxiteles sculpture, although with a correct explanation about what the quote meant?</p>
<p>Also, regarding Duchamp’s “Fountain,” the point was to show that almost anything could be art, and even the most base objects such as a urinal could be exalted to the position of a showable piece at an art gallery.</p>
<p>Are we positive that the portal is Romanesque? I wrote about that, but I’m really afraid that it’s Gothic. It looks really similar to Chartres…</p>
<p>First Long Essay I used: Bisj Poles, and The Ecstasy of of St. Theresa by Bernini, talk about both the religions,about how heads were placed at the base of the pole, and about how Baroque art was heavily funded by the Church. </p>
<p>Second Long Essay: I used Spiral Jetty by Smithson and David by Michaelangelo. Talked environmentalism and humanism,how the Jetty’s placement complements the lake, it’s a metaphor for living “green”, and how David’s public placement were in line with the ideals of humanism. </p>
<p>First Short Essay: Placed in tombs, to describe the actions of the ka after death, weighing of souls. </p>
<p>Second Short Essay: Cold rigid figure, apathetic, looks at you directly. Olympia is a common name on prostitute. Comments on the role of prostitutes and women.</p>
<p>Third Short Essay: Baroque: Rubenesque, mixture of media, theatrical, courtly, use of trump l’oeil.</p>
<p>Fourth Short Essay: Modernist architecture has many curves, referenced both Guggenheims by Gehry and Wright and random placement of windows, referenced Notre Dame Du Haut by Corbusier. Post modernist is solid and geometric, seem in facades, and structures, seen in windows.</p>
<p>Firth Short Essay: Romanesque, Roman arches and columns, but used in a church setting, low relief on tympanum. </p>
<p>Sixth Short Essay: Dechamp, challenge on the art culture, fountain is a pun, whole work is the opposite of it’s time and culture. Questions what is art. </p>
<p>Seventh Short Essay: Poloykeritos, Hermes and Dionysus, talked alot about how the body is idealistically proportioned.7 1/2 heads to body rule and so on. </p>
<p>What do you all think? Was it’s ok? I self studied and never wrote actual essays before the test, just read examples of essays. I’m freaking out.</p>
<p>Seems pretty good. Just two comments, Dechamp is actually Duchamp and its Polykleitos not Poloykeritos and Hermes and Infant Dionysus is a Praxiteles sculpture (who was staunchly opposed to the classical canon)…but it sounds like you did really well :)</p>
<p>And yeah the portal is definitely Romanesque, 100%, ugh I changed my answer to Byzantine because of those darn floating figures on the tympanum…<em>sigh</em> hopefully i can manage a 2?</p>
<p>^^ you mixed up Modernist and Postmodernist architecture, they are flip flopped. Modern was the geometric and Postmodern was innovativeness etc.</p>
<p>Thanks for the replies! </p>
<p>Does spelling count for much? I know in other tests it really doesn’t. But I know for a fact that I spelled at least a good number of the artists wrongs >.<. Oh well. </p>
<p>Darn, architecture. I defiantly did that response on the fly though. Maybe I’ll get a a point or two for referencing the pictures…</p>
