Enter this Unit.	High School Level: Grades 9-12 High School Standard: Reading, Listening, and Viewing Complex Information Gain ideas and information from listening to presentations or reading online essays about the historical and cultural context, mythological representation, function, and style of the unit's 24 artworks. Describe the visual choices that artists made in creating the unit's artworks by responding to questions that can be answered by looking at the works. (See the "Look" questions about each artwork.) Interpret each of the unit's artworks by responding to questions that help explore an artist's creative intent and the reasons behind the artist's visual choices. (See the "Think" questions about each artwork.) Become aware of the symbolic content in art (e.g., attributes that identify mythological characters, colors associated with meanings). Select two or more artworks from the same category (e.g., Hero Myths) in the online Mythological Comparisons chart, and develop a chart that compares the artworks according to these categories: medium and technique, function, size, cultural origins, and style.
