As you know from your reading this week, people often make art for a purpose. Both of the above images depict a sacred site. The first image is the Sistine chapel at the Vatican. This is a holy space for mass in the Catholic tradition. The second image is King Tut’s tomb. Ancient Egyptians placed a great importance on the afterlife, and the tomb of a great leader reflects this. Choose one of the images and make a judgement about it.
