You learned in the Kahn Academy videos that the series of Arena Chapel paintings giving the historical timeline of important events in the life of Jesus are arranged in horizontal rows (“tiers”) on the walls of the chapel, to be read left-to-right, as if you were reading a book.  
However, there is also a value in “reading” the paintings from top-to-bottom -- as vertical “stacks”.  In many cases, there is a strong relationship between the painting in one tier and the painting directly beneath it, even though they are not in historical sequence.
The images for this assignment are pairs of related panels.  In each case, Giotto placed these pairs in the Arena Chapel one directly beneath the other.  
If you wish to refer to internet sources to help you, you are welcome to do so, but it is not required.  If you feel you understand the connections without additional sources, you are welcome to give your personal thoughts, so long as you explain what specific elements in the paintings (and the events) led you to those conclusions.

ASSIGNMENT: 
1.	The first pair of images are “The Raising of Lazarus” and “The Resurrection”  (If you are not familiar with the “stories” of those two events, see the Wikipedia links provided below the pair.)
a.	Describe the thematic connection between the two historical events depicted in the two images.
b.	How did the artist’s composition make those two panels seem to “belong” with one another?

2.	The second pair of images are “The Massacre of the Innocents” and “The Mocking of Jesus”.  (If you are not familiar with the “stories” of those two events, see the Wikipedia links provided below the pair.)
a.	Describe the thematic connection between the two historical events depicted in the two images.
b.	How did the artist’s composition make those two panels seem to “belong” with one another?

3.	The third pair of images are “The Presentation of Christ in the Temple” and “The Kiss of Judas”   (If you are not familiar with the “stories” of those two events, see the Wikipedia links provided below the pair.)
a.	Describe the thematic connection between the two historical events depicted in the two images.
b.	How did the artist’s composition make those two panels seem to “belong” with one another?
