Essay Question Pool
1. Describe the characteristics of, and differences between, "Baroque" music and "Classical" music. Provide at least one example that illustrates each overall style. How does each genre reflect/express its historical/cultural context (e.g., theologically, philosophically)? In what ways have these forms influenced contemporary popular music?
2. Using at least one example of each, explain the differences between the Poussiniste and the Rubeniste schools of art during the Baroque and/or Rococo periods of French art.
3. Explain the point that Voltiare is making is his satirical novel Candide. Contextually (historically), what gave rise to it? What sort of person is Candide? Dr. Pangloss? What 18th century philosopher does Pangloss represent?
4. Explain the nature of "the Romantic Hero." What are his/her attributes? What are his/her flaws? Based on those traits, who are some 19th century examples of the Romantic Hero? Can you think of any 20th/21st century figures who fit the mold of the Romantic Hero?
5. What is "orientalism?" Explain its characteristics and cultural tendencies. What is the relationship between orientalism and colonialism? Name at least one painter or one writer whose work is indicative of orientalism and explain why the work does so.
6. Give a brief overview of the development of photography. What was its initial purpose? What 17th century Northern European painter employed technical principles of photography in his work?
