Which characteristics best describe Aaron Douglass’s painting,song of the towers ?A.Symbolic and industrial

B.Exaggerated and humorous

C.Green and naturalistic

D. Stoic and literal

Answers

The right answer is the A: Symbolic and industrial.

Song of the Towers is one in the series of mural paintings Aspects of Negro Life (1934), created by African American artist Aaron Douglas (1900-1979), a great figure of the Harlem Renaissance. The murals trace the history of African Americans, up to their migration from the South to the North of the United States.

The mural is complex both in its formal aspects and in its meaning. A series of concentric circles and protruding and monumental prisms occupy the center of the composition, providing a lively and monumental frame to a jazz musician who is actively playing his saxophone. The Statue of Liberty is behind him, in the background. Although these symbolic elements seem to celebrate and relate African American heritage and culture and national identity, the images of two smoking factories and part of what it looks like a massive piece of industrial equipment, together with those of two exhausted African American workers, speak of the difficulties that African Americans encountered in those cities that promised progress and hope for the future.

What are early settlers?

Early settlers referred to the people who were among the first to migrate and establish settlements in a particular area or region. The term is often used in the context of the colonization of new lands.

The first humans to arrive in the Americas came from Asia via the Bering Strait during the last Ice Age, when sea levels were lower and a land bridge connected Siberia to Alaska.

They were hunter-gatherers that slowly traveled south over thousands of years, adapting to a broad variety of habitats and creating diverse cultures and societies.

Therefore, option C is appropriate.

The answer is C) They crossed the Bering Strait from Siberia to enter the Americas.

It is believed that the Bering Strait was not a waterway but either a land piece or an ice bridge. And some people in Russian and Middle Asian steppes migrated to North America.

A is false because when European colonists discovered them, they were not advanced. If they were advanced in the beginning, they should be advanced later too.

B is false because they were the only people in the continent. There wasn't another group to trade.

D is false because they didn't have the technology and the equipments to cross the Atlantic Ocean.
