Are they your favorites, or are they deserving of such honor despite not being actual personal favorites?

You have had one semester in which to examine many works in part I of a broad survey of Western Art. You have seen much in class, and even more on your own as you have researched and completed seven assignments.
In short, compose a list of your personal top 5 works of art from this semester, and describe why you have chosen these particular 5 works in light of so many works we’ve viewed.
Why did these 5 make your list?
How did you arrive at your list?
Are they your favorites, or are they deserving of such honor despite not being actual personal favorites?
Did you see them in class, or in your own research, or both?
Were you familiar with any of these works prior to class?
By placing these works in their context, were you able to gain a new understanding of the works as representatives of a specific time, place and culture, thereby catching a glimpse of the past in a new and dare I say, profound way?
Be sure to fully identify your top 5 by title, date, and artist if known, and please cite sources, whether lectures, study guides, notes, textbook or other.
