(Refer to the CourseMate Guide for help accessing CourseMate for the first time. Once in your CourseMate materials for this course and textbook, locate the Bonus Images from the menu.) Apply three of the most important vocabulary words art historians use to describe the work of art. Explain why you chose those three terms and why they are important to analyzing art.
