MGLQZ:
Question 1Compare and contrast the use of perspective in Raphael's The School of Athens and Asher Brown Durand's Kindred Spirits.

Question 2Describe how various types of lines convey the form and personality of the cat in Kiki Smith's Ginzer.

Chou:
Answer 1The ideal answer should include:
1. In The School of Athens, Raphael uses linear perspective to produce an architectural setting and a group of figures that appear to recede naturally into space.
2. Raphael emphasizes the important figures of Aristotle and Plato by placing them a central position and in an area with the greatest spatial depth.
3. In Kindred Spirits, Durand implies spatial depth through the use of atmospheric perspective.
4. Durand highlights the details of trees and rocks in the foreground and obscures the distant landscape to emphasize the vastness of the American wilderness.

Answer 2The ideal answer should include:
1. Individual lines are etched closely together to create the texture of the cat's fur.
2. Implied lines suggest the cat's flexible body and define its reclined position.
3. Curving lines and irregular lines capture the cat's alert eyes.
4. Sharp and jagged lines delineate the cat's teeth and claws.
