Begin by clicking the “Link to Article” button and reading the article from the Metropolitan Museum of Art titled “Buddhism and Buddhist Art”. The article discusses the different ways that the image of Buddha evolved. As you read the article, you will be able to match the images above with the style descriptions below. I've provided hints in the captions to help you match correctly. You'll want to write down your answers because there will be a test! When you have identified each Buddha, go to your Moodle page and click on Assignment 1.4 – Match the Buddha quiz. Hint: Look for the following styles.
