As noted in lecture the test will be 30 minutes in length. You will be presented with one image of a picture discussed in the lectures and you will need to respond to a question pertaining to that picture. Your response must use full sentences (no point form). The identification (title, date and artist) for the picture will be provided. A list potential test images will be provided on this blog shortly. Here is a sample test question from a previous version of the course:

Image: Diego Velázquez, Las Meninas, (oil on canvas, 1656)
Respond to the following question using full
sentences. Point form will not be
accepted.
QUESTION: In his painting titled Las Meninas, Diego Velázquez
presents a picture of the King and Queen of Spain, their daughter (the
Infanta), her maids of honor and entourage, and a self-portrait. The painting
challenges the limits of conventional portraiture by clearly adopting the
format of a metapicture. Briefly define the term (as it is applied here) and
explain how the metapicture shapes our response to the painting.
