The following summarizes what a student should have learned from reading each chapter of A History of Western Art.

It is assumed that students can identify all works by title, artist (if known), culture (or nationality) and time period, medium, and style. It is also assumed that students will look up and be able to define the bolded glossary terms. In addition, further examples of what a student should be familiar with are listed below.

After reading chapter 8, you should be able to:

1. label a map of Italy showing Etruria, Volterra, Chiusi, Veii, Tarquinia, Cerveteri, and Rome.
