  2. Compare the figure drawings of Calder and Hokusai. How did each express the form of the body in space? What kind of lines did each use? Whose do you prefer? Why?

  3. Look at the Raphael and Ingres drawings. How do they differ from the cartoons of Reilly and the monster illustrations of Sendak? Mention purpose in your answer.
