I studied the information from these posts & Mona Lisa & Book of Lists. There
were questions from here as well as different ones. Here are some of the
questions I remember from my praxis 2 exam that were not previously posted:
One about WIlliam Blake One about Thomas Gainsborough Column of Trajan-
continuous frieze dry brush technique Poussin's Arcadian Shepherds (what it is
about & importance) foreshortening question who was influence by Japanese
prints: Degas & Cassatt
Sorry I can't remember more. Hopefully this will help with your studies!
