Answer 1
The ideal answer should include:
1. In Forever Free, Sargent Johnson expresses his perception of the modern black identity by carving a motherly woman who shelter two smaller figures, all of whom have African characteristics.
2. The title of the work comes from the Emancipation proclamation of 1863, which ended slavery in the Confederate States.
Answer 2
The ideal answer should include:
1. Le Corbusier's Villa Savoye was designed as a country house, and includes space for the garage and domestic appliances because Le Corbusier believed that a house should be a "machine for living in."
2. The Villa Savoye represents the goals of the International Style because it shows its structure, uses modern materials, such as concrete, glass, and steel, and it lacks decoration.
