The requirements are in the document. Please write them as bullet points. Thank you.

Milanote Board "Module 5: Creativity Practices I - Appropriated Motifs

Milanote Board: https://app.milanote.com/1L1GpZ1N8aDx5V/creativity-practices-modules-5-6-and-7?p=oIgsLl24voL

1. I illustrate works by four artists who used the Hellenistic sculpture Laocoön (pronounced, lay-ah-koh-on) as the basis for a protagonist in paintings.  Who are these artists?  (.5 point; 15 minutes - this question requires listing information from the Milanote board.)

Two Questions Related to Sandro Botticelli, Birth of Venus, 1485 (Florence, Uffizi)

2. What two antique sources did Botticelli use for major motifs in his painting Birth of Venus?  (.5 point; 15 minutes - this question requires listing information from the Milanote board.)

3. How did Botticelli's usage of this source for the main figure give new life to it?  (2 points; 45 minutes - this question requires that you demonstrate understanding of concepts related to a practical example from text on the Milanote board. 

Milanote Board "Module 5: Form and Content I - Agreement"

4. What is the name of the perceptual effect that is evident in the pictorial experiment known as duck-rabbit?  (Please name the effect and very briefly describe it.)  (1 point; 20 minutes - this question requires identifying nomenclature and demonstrating that you understand a concept.)

An art historian and theorist named Michael Podro wrote the following: ""If we take up the thought of earlier literatures of art ... the answer is that there must be some structure within the painting such that we perceive one aspect given meaning by another, one feature transformed by its relation to another and that these are relations we can find and re-find." 

5. In stating this, does Podro agree or disagree that the perceptual effect evident in duck-rabbit applies to the way we perceive works of art?  Please explain (very briefly - one or possibly two sentences should be enough.)  (1 point; 20 minutes - this question requires that you synthesize and apply knowledge from question 4 and the Milanote board.)

6.  Does Podro agree or disagree with Ernst Gombrich about this?  Please explain (very briefly - one sentence would probably suffice).  (1 point; 20 minutes - this question builds on question 5 and requires that you demonstrate knowledge acquired from reading the Milanote board.)

Let's think about form (by form here I mean the arrangement of design elements such as color, line, texture, shape, etc.), content  (by which here I mean the represented subject and its constituent pictorial elements), and materials (what the artwork is actually made of - which is to say, what is actually physically present). 

7. Please choose one artwork from the board and briefly and precisely describe how Michael Podro's statement quoted above applies to it.  (2 points; 45 minutes - this question requires that you apply your understanding of the concepts explored in questions 4-6 by analyzing an artwork.)

Question 1
* Agesander,
* Athenodoros
* Polydorus
Question 2
* The figure of Venus is based on a renowned Roman sculpture known as the Venus de' Medici.
* Botticelli used and added gold to the trees together with adding Venus hair. On medieval painting, Gold was used to symbolize heaven with regards to Christianity.
Question 3
By Botticelli using his art for the main figure, give new life to it as people can relate the source with life ideologies. Through Christian interpretation for instance, the nudity of Venus relates to Eve in the Garden of Eden. Various commentators have thus viewed Venus as the personification of the Christian Church.
Question 4
Bistable perception is evident in the pictorial experiment of duck-rabbit creating unpredictable perceptions of spontaneous subjective transformations. An art historian and theorist named Michael Podro wrote the following: "If we take up the thought of earlier kinds of literature of art ... the answer is that there must be some structure within the painting such that we perceive one aspect is given meaning by another, one feature transformed by its relat...
