To read about the pairs click on the links below. 

King Menkaure and Queen (Links to an external site.) and House Altar depicting Akhenaten, Nefertiti, and their Daughters (Links to an external site.)

The essay should answer the question, “How are the objects similar?” and “How are the objects different?” The key to a good compare and contrast essay is to organize the paragraphs by theme where both works of art are discussed all the way through.  What are the themes?  Choose any of the formal qualities – such as style, material, size, use of line, texture, shape, etc. that you already read about for Assignment #6.  You also need to include a discussion of the objects functions and meanings. So what was the object used for?  Who used it?  Where was it originally located? Who was supposed to see or not see the works?
