Provide the title, artist, date, and place of the work, embedding an image if possible.

Explain the purpose the work served in ritual or religious life.

Discuss the functional, symbolic, and material components in the work.

Discuss how the work engages with religious ideas or beliefs and what the work conveys in terms of human relationships with the cosmos or the divine.

Describe any reactions to the work, or connections to the work that you feel.

Option B: Art and Ethics

What is the relationship between art and ethics? Consider the following:

When should an artist follow ethics, values, or rules?

When should an artist challenge ethics, values, or rules?

To what extent should artists be responsible for the impact of their art?
