1. Select one composition by Tchaikovsky that you enjoy. Using the class text as well as the link to that music, describe the music and subject matter of that work, and explain why you enjoy it. Passionate nationalism, like Tchaikovsky's for Russia, could be a feature of Romantic art and music and in the arts of the late 1800s. Give an example of music today (besides national anthems) that is characterized by nationalism.

2. Select two specific paintings depicting females---one by one of these male artists: Manet, Degas, Dewing, or Eakins the other by one of these female artists: Cassatt, Morisot, Haudecort-Lescot, Sara M. Peale. All of these listed artists can be found at the links in the EXPLORE list or in chapters 31-32 of our class text. Compare and contrast these two depictions of women, and comment on any general tendencies that you detect among artists of that era in this respect. Compare this situation in the late 1800s to the way females are depicted in our own modern times, using at least one specific modern example.
