1.D
2.B
3.C
4.A

question 1 - the Frenchmen are comically short to show their inferiority

Assuming you're with connections academy, if you go to slide 2 of the page there's a quick overview of the piece shown. It was created by a Spanish artist during the early 1800s who was salty about Napolean invading Spain, so he drew the French as short caricatures because, well, Napolean was short.

question 2 - satire uses sarcasm, ridicule, or irony to expose the faults of someone or something.
If you go to the glossary (found in resources/yellow backpack) you can find the definition for satire.

question 3 - artists created pieces that agreed with governmental ideas because they were sponsored by wealthy patrons. I'll admit, this ones tough, but if you go to slide 3 they talk about a painting called Art and Liberty. The "show answer" card explains that Artists had to make pieces that aligned with *wealthy client's* views. A client is someone who pays you to do something. It goes on to explain that the man in the piece symbolizes an independent artist who doesn't take orders from rich customers.

question 4 - activist art seeks to cause change. You can go to the glossary for this one.

sorry for the long boring answers, I thought I'd try and explain things more since seeing letters doesn't really let you learn as well.

Actually, I don't like any of the choices here, but I don't think artists always agreed with their governments. And public opinion did not always support government policies, either. But to openly defy or criticize might mean a ban on selling the artist's work, jail, or other things. Most artists, however, weren't depicting political subjects, or did so so subtly that they didn't risk such consequences.

Help?thanks is 100% correct took the test myself

Thanks

I don't think so. But I don't always agree with the pre-programmed answers to online classes.

The moral of the story for students is to go with whatever their book teaches.

The second moral is to do their own research. No one should take one source seriously -- especially when the source is an anonymous online person.

I did first say the answer was C and strongly believed in it, that's why when help?thanks said it was right I went with it. I had done my research on it.

the correct answer for that question is c

thanks "help?thanks"!!! I got 100%!!!

So its C?

C is correct

@i'M gLtCHinG HelP is correct.

No, I don't think so. Artists often are not to worried about negative public reaction as they create. Remember that 19th century governments were usually very strong, authoritarian, often monarchies, and openly criticizing them might have unwanted effects.

Yes, I think it's D.

Oh ok I understand. Is the answer A?

Thanks

I don't think the governments of Europe had much to do with art in the 1800s. By this time the artists needed to sell their work to dealers. Read the link posted above.

This is for the 19-century and I didn't say anything about Europe. I'm getting confused.

Thank you:)

The answer was C

By the 19th century wealthy patronage was less common than in earlier eras. Think again, or go to your class materials.
