1- Watch the video, Genevieve von Petzinger's Why are these 32 symbols found in ancient caves all over Europe?, and answer the following questions: What type of imagery were von Petzinger and her husband focusing on in their research? Why might this type of imagery have been overlooked or disregarded in earlier discoveries? How might the closer inspection of these images and more detailed classification systems be beneficial? Written language, the hallmark of human civilization, didn't just suddenly appear one day. Thousands of years before the first fully developed writing systems, our ancestors scrawled geometric signs across the walls of the caves they sheltered in. Paleoanthropologist and rock art researcher Genevieve von Petzinger has studied and codified these ancient markings in caves across Europe. The uniformity of her findings suggest that graphic communication, and the ability to preserve and transmit messages beyond a single moment in time, may be much older than we think.Be sure and include any references cited.  2-Students will write submit a response either in support of or against one of the following assigned topics The Return of the Elgin Statues, for this discussion.  You will be automatically enrolled into a Group Discussion group.Initial posts should include reasons for the student's position along with several supporting facts and sources for the information. In the initial threads, also describe the artwork (either the elgin statues or a specific civil war statue as your topic dictates) in formal terms. In defending your position consider the current context (location) of the statue and the content (original meaning) and how those choices might influence your position. How does the relocation or removal of the works alter the content, or does it? Discuss these works in terms of site specific and installation artworks. How might they be similar in the broader context of sculpture. At least one response post should be made on a thread with opposing views. Response posts should also include supporting facts addressing specific points made by your peers. Be sure and include citation for all facts and supporting details 3-Write an essay about an example of architecture from your local city or a place you’ve recently visited that communicates societal or cultural needs or ideals. Compare your selected architecture with one of the examples from the textbook (Pont de Gard, the Hagia Sophia, Notre-Dame de Chartres, the Crystal Palace, Katsura Detached Palace in Kyoto, or the Hall of Mirrors at the Palace at Versailles). How do the structure’s form and structure support the function in this instance?
