Reference Video Reading - Persepolis (Attached) Questions Let's start with the Standard of Ur, one of the great masterpieces of ancient Sumerian art. Based on your observations, what sort of image does the Standard of Ur construct of ideal kingship? How does the standard of Ur represent the king? What must a good king do? What obligations does a king owe to his people? Use specific visual evidence! Next, consider the Akkadian "Stele of Naram Sin" and compare it to the Babylonian "Hammurabi's Code." What do they have in common? What are their differences? How do they imagine different examples of kingship? Please use specific visual evidence in your answer! Finally, let's look at Persia during the rule of the Achaemenid Dynasty. Complete the outside reading. Describe briefly the way that the art and architecture at Persepolis represents the Persian approach to power.Please use a direct quote in your answer. How does this conception of power compare to the earlier examples? Rubric A reminder: Learning Logs should be a minimum of one page in length (250-300 words). The following suggestions will help you to perform well on Learning Logs. It might be helpful to revisit these throughout the semester. Answer the questions in the prompt! Answer all of them! This is the most common cause of a reduced score. If asked to analyze an image, analyze it with specific details. If you are vague, unclear, or your work lacks specificity, you will be marked down. If you are sure that you have answered all of the questions in the Learning Log and you still have a reduced grade, this is most likely the cause. You should aim as much as possible to use appropriate terms from the textbook and lecture. Using incorrect terminology is a giveaway that you have not taken appropriate notes during lecture and your reading. Quote specifically and appropriately from the book or other relevant documents if asked. It is extremely important that you show evidence of an appropriate engagement with the textbook. Learning Logs that do not directly cite a relevant passage from the book will be graded down. Do not paste in information from the web or use outside sources. YOU SHOULD DO NO OUTSIDE RESEARCH--use only your book and lecture notes. Do not be overly general and/or vague: “Art has always been a part of human history...” “Art is known to be a powerful way to communicate...” Do not include lengthy background information on works of art, artists, or time periods unless absolutely necessary or directly relevant. Aim for clarity and organization in your writing just as you would in any piece of graded, formal or professional writing. Feel free to be bold and creative in your response, so long as you can back it up with visual evidence.
