You and your partner have to do some internet research. Your task is to find 2 differences and 2 similarities in Greek and Roman sculpture.
I do not suggest trying to find an article that someone has written and posted... It is alot of reading and most articles discuss the differences in their ARCHITECTURE, not their SCULPTURE.
I recommend that you simply IMAGE SEARCH Greek sculpture and then image search Roman sculpture and use your own fresh mind, intuition, and perspective to make these observations...
You and your partner will then post these DIFFERENCES/SIMILARITIES in a post on this blog to take care of the 5 points for the quiz we are not having this week.
Click on the little comments line next to the little PENCIL below this text to add your answers/insight.
In the COMMENT AS... menu, select ANONYMOUS... BUT...
Do not forget to end your BLOG POST answer with the names of you & your partner!!!

Similarities: Most of those statues that have survived are made of marble. Most of them have little or no pupil definition and are highly detailed.
ReplyDeleteDifferences: Roman statues are more likely to express emotion while most Greek statues have serene features. Roman statues' characteristic face tends to have a broader, "Roman" nose, and they are less idealized.
Allison M.
Sims: Both Roman and Greek had very detailed sculptures of the human body. And were very nude and were made from stone.
ReplyDeleteDiffs: The detail work on some seemed to be better than others. And then some of the greek sculptures were more god based, or had man and animal combined.
Joey W and Jordan N
Something that they have in common is that the artists are still foucusing on the human body as their insperation, but the Romans start to cover up the mens bodys with clothes. The Greeks seem to focuse on the strengh, and the details of the human body, while the Romans start to tell more of a storie with their art. The Romans make their sculptures more interesting to look at, not only with the bodys, but with animals, and the different ways that the body can move.

ReplyDelete(1) Both have mostly blank eyes.
(2) Both have detailed clothing
2 Differences
(1) Greek staues are older.
(2) Used different stones to carve.
By Hannah Schneider&Toni Graham
Roman sculptures seem to be serene and soft, concentrating more on the face and almost intellect or creativity, whereas the Greek sculptures seem to focus more on the strength of body, holding spears and wearing helmets, to represent power.
ReplyDeleteBoth the Greek and Roman sculptures concentrate deeply on the definition of the human body and, many of them are of more than one person, maybe to suggest unity or compassion.
Chelsea Kopp
Great! You guys really understood this. The differences are subtle, but they exist. ROMANS were more comfortable with showing EMOTION. They had a wider variety of POSES. they used more DETAIL. and their sculptures were more recognizable as actual specific PEOPLE- not just generic faces.
ReplyDeleteI think, as a class, you covered ALL of the major points!
WORD!
MR.L
if i was going to buy any of these items, i would get the spiral needles. I would give them to my grandma cuz she likes to sew. And i think its a great idea cuz its pretty hard to thread a regular needle even more so for old people like my g-ma.
ReplyDelete-Colton
If i bought oneof these items, i think it would be the expandible table because its looks easy to use and when you have a big group over you wouldnt have to worry about getting more tables.
ReplyDeleteHanna S.
If I bought one of these iteams I would buy the expandable couch that turns into a bunk bed. It is very creative and easier.
ReplyDeleteIf I were to buy something for someone else I would by the neddle for my aunt and grandma. They love to sew and I think it will help.
Hannah Schneider
I would buy two things for myself, because i think the sofa bunkbe would be sick for my party shack. and the car tank fow wheelin at mudboggs and the mountain...
ReplyDelete-KD the Lion
I would buy the diamond ice cube mold. It's clever, but simple, also appealing to the eye.
ReplyDeleteAlyssa D.
Its hard to understand how unhappiness can be a popular art form but I do think that every emotion can be and has been illustrated.
