1. Analyze storytelling in the cultures we studied in the past four weeks using the artworks below as examples of the Egyptian, Islamic, and Early Christian societies' modes for depicting stories.  Begin with a brief analysis of each story that is being told, using your own words and making sure to point out the formal elements of the artwork (line, color, shape, and composition) that combine to tell the story.

2. Next, compare and contrast the three artworks and the iconography used in each story and distinguish the connections that can be made , pointing out patterns you find.

3.  To conclude, summarize the use of storytelling in the cultures represented in the three artworks below.

* Funerary Stele if Amenemhat, c. 2000 BCE.  Painted limestone.  Egyptian Museum, Cairo

* Flight into Egypt, from the infancy of Christ Window, c. 1140 -1144 CE. Stained and painted glass.  The Glencairn Museum, Bryn Athyn, Pennsylvania
