Answer to Question 1

Areas of meaning convey what a work of art is about and can be categorized by themes. These works reflect themes of social orders and the sacred realm through figurative representation.

Answer to Question 2

Art can be its own theme. Some artists draw from artwork created in previous decades or centuries to re-contextualize the image and subject matter to result in a new dialogue and appreciation of the art of the work.
