The term Criollos refers to Latin Americans who were full or near full of Spanish descent but who were born in a Spanish colony.

The Criollos were a social class in the cast system of the oversees colonies established by Spain in the 16th century. The term was used to differentiate the Crollos from multi-racial Latin Americans and Latin Americans of European immigrant origins.

The Criollos were legally Spaniards but they ranked below the Iberian-born Peninsulares ( people who lived in the colony but were born in Spain). Nevertheless, they ranked higher in social hierarchy than people of mixed descent, Amerindians and enslaved Africans.

The word Criollo stems from 19th century Spanish 'native to the locality'.

Generally, the term criollos refers to the people of Latin America who were not of strict European descent--meaning that they were born in Latin America to either natives or "mixed" blood.

Your drawing reflects the Egyptian canon because the movement the figure is making and who it represents -- Egypt's political leader -- are typical of Egyptian art.

Explanation:

This question is trying to make you see the similarities between your drawing and the Egyptian art. The word canon means a body of works that form a tradition.

Dovator [93]

The correct answers are A) to portray the legacies of people of the past. B) to provide functional comforts and shelter.

Historically, some of the functions of architecture and construction have been to portray the legacies of people of the past and to provide functional comforts and shelter.

Architecture has been one of the most important legacies of past civilizations. Through the study of ancient architecture, historians, archeologists, and other scholars can study and analyze the way ancestors lived, their customs, the public use of buildings, the religious use of buildings, and how was the family environment of the past.

That is why is so important that governments preserve and take care of archeological sites, and old buildings from the past, no matter the time. Every single epoch has constructions that can illustrate modern-day society.
