Art History I
Fall 2022
Prof. Charlotte Gray
Yale University Art Gallery
Please answer the following open questions with words and sketches.
Your answers should be based on observations of artworks that fall within the time periods and
regions treated in our course.
1. Find a work of art that was intended to be moved (in a procession, on the body of a person or
animal, etc.), or viewed by a person in motion.
a) Provide title and date for the work:
b) Your artwork is now installed in a museum–a new context for the work both in
terms of environment and in terms of mobility. List three ways in which today’s viewer
(you) must imagine the work’s former context and function in order to understand its aesthetic
qualities. [You may make a sketch of the work and annotate it in order to answer this question]
2. Find two artworks whose juxtaposition in the galleries seems to construct a dialog between
the works. Give title and date of these works, and briefly describe why you think the museum’s
curators chose to place these works near one another.

4) Find a work that provides evidence for the mixing of cultures. Provide title and date, and the
reasoning behind your choice.
5) Find an ancient or medieval work that strikes you as remarkably modern. Provide title and
date, and the reasoning behind your choice.
6) By now you’ve spent a long time in the galleries. What work do you find most striking,
intriguing and/or beautiful? Begin taking notes here: what do you know, what do you want to
know? How do we know?
