Successful Public Health Intervention 1 page
The essential job of public health agencies is to identify what makes
people healthy and what makes them sick, and then take the steps necessary
to ensure that the population encounters a maximum of the former and a
minimum of the latter. Describe a successful public health intervention in
your community, city, and/or state. Describe the public health problem.
Discuss the public health intervention/initiative. Use credible research to
detail the intervention success and/or failure.

Question 1: Defining Art
In a minimum of 2 well-developed paragraphs, address the following
questions:
Do you consider a beautifully made tool to be a work of art? Is a
utilitarian or functional object automatically excluded from being art?
Explain why you feel this way.
In your response, discuss whether knowing the social and historical context
matters when determining whether an object should be classified as a work
of art. Must an object display certain visual characteristics to be
considered art? If so, what are those characteristics?
Question 2: Paleolithic Cave Painting
As we learned this week, art historians analyze a work of art using a
specific vocabulary to describe its physical and visual properties, and by
interpreting its subject matter, symbolism, and socio-historical context.
Survey your course textbook and reliable online sources for a photograph of
a Paleolithic cave painting from Pech-Merle, France; Altamira, Spain; or
Lascaux, France.
First, fully identify your selected cave painting by its location and
approximate date.
Read about your selected cave painting in the course textbook and/or
through reliable online resources. In a paragraph of 5-7 sentences,
describe the composition of the painting; its overall subject matter; the
meaning of some of the objects in the painting; and any social, historical,
and/or cultural factors that are important to understanding the painting.
Be sure to provide citations for any outside sources you reference in this
part of your response.

Question 1: Sculpture in Ancient Civilizations
The civilizations studied this week created impressive works of sculpture,
with varying purposes and meanings. Carefully examine the following
sculptures, and read about each one in your textbook, course and video
lectures, and through reliable internet resources:
Stele of Naram-Sin, c. 2254-2218 BCE
Palette of Narmer, c. 3150-3125 BCE
Akhenaton and Nefertiti and their three daughters, c. 1350 BCE
Then, in a well-developed paragraph of at least 5-7 sentences, describe the
composition of each sculpture, including the representation of figures,
objects, and space. Consider whether the figures fit into the space around
them, whether their movements seem believable, and/or whether their clothes
fit their bodies properly. What does the way the figure and objects are
represented tell us about the time and place in which the sculpture was
created? What similarities or differences do you observe in the
compositions of the three works?
Next, in a second paragraph of at least 5-7 sentences, describe the overall
subject matter of each sculpture; the meaning of some of the objects in the
painting; and any social, historical, political, and/or religious factors
that are important to understanding the painting. Explain what the subject
of the sculpture tells us about the society and culture in which it was
created. Be sure to provide citations for any outside sources you reference
in this part of your response.
Question 2: Monumental Architecture
The cultures we studied this week produced grand architectural structures.
Carefully examine the following structures, and read about each one in your
textbook, course and video lectures, and through reliable internet
resources:
Ziggurat, Ur, c. 2100 B.C.E
Aerial view of the Fourth Dynasty pyramids (looking north), Gizeh, c.
2601-2515 BCE
Lion Gate, Mycenae, c. 1250 BCE
Then, in a minimum of 3 well-developed paragraphs, answer the following
questions about each structure:
Who created each structure? Who commissioned its creation?
What was the function of the structure?
What historical events or social or cultural influences affected the
creation of each structure?
How do the visual characteristics of each structure contribute to or
enhance its message or meaning?
How do the reasons these structures were created compare with those of a
more modern example of monumental art work, such as Mount Rushmore, the
9/11 Memorial, etc.?
Be sure to provide citations for any outside sources you reference in this
part of your response.
