TPO11 Ancient Egyptian Sculpture - 英檢

※ 引述《luvhim (:))》之銘言：
: Paragraph 1：In order to understand ancient Egyptian art, it is vital to know
: as much as possible of the elite Egyptians' view of the world and the functions
: and contexts of the art produced for them. Without this knowledge we can
: appreciate only the formal content of Egyptian art, and we will fail to
: understand why it was produced or the concepts that shaped it and caused it to
: adopt its distinctive forms. In fact, a lack of understanding concerning the
: purposes of Egyptian art has often led it to be compared unfavorably with the
: art of other cultures: Why did the Egyptians not develop sculpture in which
: the body turned and twisted through space like classical Greek statuary?
: Why do the artists seem to get left and right confused? And why did they not
: discover the geometric perspective as European artists did in the Renaissance?
: The answer to such questions has nothing to do with a lack of skill or
: imagination on the part of Egyptian artists and everything to do with the
: purposes for which they were producing their art.
: 2. Paragraph 1 suggests that one reason Egyptian art is viewed less favorably
: than other art is that Egyptian art lacks
: ○ a realistic sense of human body proportion
: ○ a focus on distinctive forms of varying sizes
: ○ the originality of European art
: ○ the capacity to show the human body in motion
: 答案是D
: 但我看了好多次還是選不出來...
: 從這句判斷a lack of understanding concerning the purposes of Egyptian art
: 我原本選C
: 因為我覺得要了解藝術的用途就要了解藝術的發展(origin)
: 我是不是想錯了...orz
: 謝謝大家的解答!
這個問題要考生回答的部份 不在你選的這句話
而是文章冒號(..of other clutures:)後對於古埃及藝術性
被不當貶低所舉的可能原因(也是例子)--
1. Why did the Egyptians not develop....in which the body turned and twisted..
2. get left and right confused
3. lacking geometric perspective
這三個原因任一個出現在選項裏的話 都會是正解
而今天考題考的是原因1.
它被拿出來當選項D:表現出人體動作的能力 >> 這點是古埃及藝術所沒有的
也是因為缺乏這個能力
要是一般人無法瞭解其藝術創作的目的 就可能會看扁古埃及藝術

希望這個回答能幫助到你
還有疑問的話
歡迎再提問 :)
