Step 1 – Images: Giotto, Madonna Enthroned, (Ognissanti Madonna), from the Chiesa di Ognissanti (All Saints Church), Florence, ca. 1310, tempera & gold leaf on wood & Duccio, Virgin and Child Enthroned with Saints, principal panel of the font of the Maestá altarpiece, from Siena Cathedral, Siena, Italy 1308-11, tempera & gold leaf on wood
Step 2 – This Discussion is divided into 2 parts
- What are the similarities and differences? Make sure you include a minimum of 2 similarities and differences for both images. For example, the formal elements with color & line. Please read the textbook & the Instructor PDF file. This will enable you to include specific information in your answer.
- Do you think the size of the architectural structure influenced the size of the altarpiece? Giotto’s altarpiece was inside of a church & Duccio’s altarpiece was inside of a cathedral (very large church).
Step 3 – In order to get full credit, answer the question and then respond to a minimum of 3 other student postings with comments (see Guidelines for Art Talk and Ground Rules in your Syllabus). Be sure to complete this Section before it closes. I cannot reopen a Section once it has closed.
Step 4 – Remember, the Discussions are separated into 3 Sections and close Weekly – on Sunday at 11:59 PM. The closing day will always be the same during the semester. This means that if Sunday is a holiday, please plan accordingly to complete the Discussion. The Discussions are open for 1 week and no extra time is allowed.
Step 5 – Once a Discussion has closed, I will read & graded them – this may take a few days. Once graded, I will send an Announcement with the answers and a summation of what I read from your postings and comments. You will be able to see your grades in the Grades link after I have read/graded the Discussion.
