A. Observation- In thsi art waor I see the simialriets to the animals and the humans. I see the large lips and the slanted
eyes, as discussed in my research. The pieces ar emad of jade and other indigenouse clays to the Olmec.
B. Interpretation- This art work is a represntative of a half-person, half-beast. The Olmec beleved that after death
a man would become an animal and that each person had an animal spirit.
C. Judgement- I choose this art work because it represents what I discussed in my research. I think the art work is great!
It is from such a long time ago, but yet the details are so precise. I think that is why I like it.
D. Questioning- I would like to know were the art pieces evr traded for goods to surrounding societies or where they
strictly for religious purposes?
The Olmec did use this pieces as a gift or reprentative of their gods, Do you think their gods would punish them for
being traded?
