Answer to Question 1

Answers will vary. For the three works, students should identify the different ways rhythms stand out visually, and then discuss what the artists were trying to show through such uses of rhythms.

Answer to Question 2

Response should address the use of geometry, the repetition, the placement of figures and forms to discuss formal effects, and the meanings behind the use of symmetry, the cosmic order, and the religious symbolism to discuss emotional effects.
