1. Art in Buddhism and Hinduism
Compare and Contrast

2. Your job…
Take a look at the two statues, one of Buddha and one of the Goddess Shiva.
On your paper, create a sketch of each one. Pay attention to the way they are posed, facial expression, and their jewelry/accessories
After drawing, you will answer 3 questions on the back of your paper.

4. Viewing Questions
What does each figure appear to be doing? What message do you think their body language is trying to express?
How is the presentation of Buddha similar to, or different from, the presentation of the Hindu god Shiva?
What do you think we can learn from these works about the religions/artists/communities involved?
