Answer:
False
Explanation:
There are many different styles of Buddha statues that usually vary by the position of Buddha's hands. Over a hundred different hand gestures exist and each of them conveys a different spiritual meaning.
For example, the depiction of Buddha with the right hand raised and facing outwards has two meanings: the Protection Buddha (the raised right hand symbolizes a shield) and Overcoming Fear (the one being protected has nothing to fear). You can see this depiction of Buddha in the first picture.
The Buddha depicted with both hands facing up on his lap and legs crossed in the Lotus Position is called the Meditation Buddha. People usually buy this statue if they want to set up a peaceful corner in their home where they could relax and think. The second picture shows what this representation of Buddha looks like.
Michelangelo sculpt the mother figure in his Pieta as a young woman as it is an important work that balances the Renaissance ideals of classical beauty with naturalism.
The answer would be Renaissance. Craft work is a skilled work that involves one to apply a technique. It applies to the use of human intelligence and by the use of the human hand and this is something useful. Meanwhile, art on the other hand does not need to be something useful.
Answer: It is describing the dreadful voyage of a group of enslaved Africans on a slave ship—more specifically the so-called middle passage voyage.
Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that this is an excerpt from Olaudah Equiano's bestseller autobiography (1789). He was a former enslaved African who was eventually able to buy his freedom and become a seaman and a merchant. In this passage he is relating the horrors he experienced and witnessed during the so-called middle passage voyage across the Atlantic Ocean to the New World. He describes the unbereable voyage aboard an overcrowded ship, the unhealthy conditions, the diseases and the deaths, as well as the screams and the groans of those that, like him, were obliged to leave their homes and work as slaves.
