Explain how Neolithic art is different than Paleolithic art. How is this demonstrated in the earthenware beaker from Susa?

What will be an ideal response?

Answer: The ideal answer should include:
1. Unlike the naturalistic forms of Paleolithic art, Neolithic art is characterized by geometric designs and abstract forms.
2. The earthenware beaker from Susa features solid bands of decoration and animals that are abstracted into geometric shapes, such as the triangular and circular shapes that define a goat’s body in the center of the vessel.
