Responses will vary depending on the artwork selection. Possible answers can include masks, reliefs, sculpture, and murals.

Answer to Question 2

Among the most well-known works of the Pacific are the monumental stone figures of Easter Island. Almost one thousand of the monolithic statues have been found. Scholars believe they were carved as memorials to dead rulers or other important ancestors. The stones were quarried and partially carved in the island's volcanic mountains. The average height of the figures is around 36 feet and each one weighs tens of tons.
