Influences of Ancient Architecture
Influences of Ancient Architecture
Humanities through the arts (Text book)
This week you will read about architecture. The lesson includes information on Roman architecture, which was greatly influenced by the Greeks and Etruscans.
Locate at least two architectural works that were influenced by Greco-Roman architecture. These can be from any time period after the Greco-Roman period but should be from different periods themselves (e.g., one from Renaissance and one from Baroque). Then address the following:
· What is the function of each structure?
· How does each work exhibit influence of the Greco-Roman period? Is the influence specifically Greek, Etruscan, or Roman or a combination?
· How would you compare the two selected works? Take the role of the evaluative critic.
Use examples from the text, the lesson, and the library to help support your answer. Please remember to provide images and citations to help illustrate your points.
Writing Requirements
· Minimum of 2 sources cited (assigned readings/online lessons and an outside source)
APA format for in-text citations and list of references
