Step 2 – This Discussion is divided into 2 parts

1. What are the similarities and differences?  Make sure you include a minimum of 2 similarities and differences for both images.  For example, the formal elements with color & line.  Please read the textbook & the Instructor PDF file.  This will enable you to include specific information in your answer. 
2. Do you think the size of the architectural structure influenced the size of the altarpiece?  Giotto’s altarpiece was inside of a church & Duccio’s altarpiece was inside of a cathedral (very large church).
