Classical Ideal Summary

An example of how the ancient Roman civilization that has an effect in our world today is architecture. The Greek builders made three stone columns that were used in the Lincoln memorial, Jefferson Memorial, and the Supreme Court (Doc. 1). The three type of stone columns that were used on these buildings are doric, ionic, and corinthian (Doc.1). These Greek columns

Greek art took many ideas from Egypt and Mesopotamia however as the years passed they started to develop and create their own unique style. This style was more realistic and natural visually. One of their goals was for the viewer to believe they are seeing a moment standing still in time. You can see this when you compare Kroisos from, Anavysos Greece, and Doryphorus from Pompeii, Italy. These pieces are roughly dated 80 years apart however the difference between the two-forms are so remarkable. This paper will be discussing and addressing the evolution of a more naturalistic art form, from the statue of Kroisos compared to the statue of Doryphorus during the Greek art period. At a first glance of the statues you may not see the dramatic differences between the two however they were both approached in different ways to be created. They have different meanings yet both were created to be more naturalistic than what came before it.

Greek art, especially sculpture, was a common way to explore and reach past the confines of mankind’s natural appearance be it through penises, huge muscles, or generalized unrealistic body standards. Hercules and the Hydra, a sculpture by Mathias Gasteiger, presents an image of masculinity through the expressive posture and form of Hercules once you look past those gleaming bronze pectorals, and into the intricate details of the piece.

The Greek period, ca. 900-30 BCE, was famous for its developed ideals of human beauty, the concept of ideal heroic male nudes and what they depict, and progression from symbolic works to naturalism. Using the discussion of the following artworks, the (Anavysos)Kouros, the Kritios Boy and the Spear Bearer (Doryphoros), I will discuss their symbolic and naturalistic characteristics.

Hellenistic art was engaged more on perfection of the human frame, accuracy and detail. Models from Greek times looked more God-like than human. Hellenic art depended on the new thought of authenticity. Hellenic figures were molded into sensible, blamed human structures. Art in the Hellenic world art epitomized richness, cheerful nature, and coarse with. Marble statues and reliefs described human greatness and sensuality. Art in Hellenistic world emphasize extraordinary naturalism and unashamed luxury. Art in Hellenistic and Hellenic showed feelings and other components filled with different

Throughout history, many civilizations have risen and fallen carrying along with them their perspectives and beliefs manifested in works of art. All civilizations have erected monuments to not only prove they existed, but because they believed they would remain permanently. The Ancient Greeks were no different, portraying their ideal standards of beauty and proportion into their sculptures. Their ideal perception of adulation “represented the highest form of perfection, comparable to the infinite impeccability of their gods and goddesses” ( ). Evidently, the Ancient Greeks ideals served as a prerequisite that transcended into the ideals of their successors, the Ancient Romans.

Studies concerning the lives of women in classical Athens have sparked much controversy because, despite the apparent fascination with femininity manifested in art and drama, we have no evidence voicing the opinions of the actual women themselves. This presents a

Greek mythology played a large role in Greek artistic styles and functions. In the case of this study, the mythological god Apollo is the subject of the artistic works of the votive known as the “Mantiklos Apollo” and the statue of “Apollo” that was found in Pireaus. These figures show a natural progression in style and technique. They are important because they represent the sacred beliefs and superstitions of their respective cultures and time periods.

This essay aims to investigate two different time periods in the history of art. It will scrutinize the influence that the respective societal contexts had on the different artists, which in turn, caused them to arrange the formal elements in a specific way. I will be examining an Egyptian sculpture of the god Isis nursing Horus, her son, as well as the Vladimir Virgin icon, which dates from the Byzantine era. Experts vary on the precise ‘lifetime’ of the Ancient Egyptian civilization, but according to Mason (2007:10) it existed from 3100 BCE up to 30 BCE. The Byzantine era, which

The career that I will be discussing and reviewing is a veterinarian. Veterinarians examine, diagnose and treat animals, prescribe and administer animal medications, take cell and tissue samples and perform diagnostic tests,and perform surgery on animals (Veterinarian Job Duties). In other terms, veterinarians are like doctors but for animals. “The scope of veterinarian medicine is wide, covering all animal species, both domesticated and wild, with a wide range of conditions which can affect different species” (Veterinarian medicine). The top goal for veterinarians is to keep animals healthy and safe, and to prevent diseases from happening. That’s why your cat, dog or any animal that you own gets many shots. I choose this career because I

In the world of Ancient Greece, a large array of deities were worshipped. Each god had their own forms of identification in which they used to express themselves. This includes things such as personality, style, sexuality, and many other things. One of these forms of expression was gender. The Greeks seemed to focus more on the two typical genders, which are male and female. Some Greek gods seemed to play into certain gender roles, but others portrayed traits of the opposite sex. In this paper, I will be analysing the possibility that the Greeks believed the female and male genders were closely connected and that is why many of the gods are described with blended aspects of gender.

The Old Market Woman, is a marble statue that dates back to the Early Imperial period, which also known as the Hellenistic period. Artists became fascinated with the idea of childhood and old age, instead of beauty and masculinity. More become interested in seeing a statue that has characteristics that catches the viewer 's eyes. We are naturally attracted to beauty as humans. What the artist of The Old Market Woman did, though was they had taken that beauty that we are attracted to, and transforms it into reality and then uses it to tell a story. The use of realism relates strongly to the religion that the Woman of this statue believed in.

Psychosocial Development From The Health Promotion Strategies Through the Lifespan, describes the developmental stage for adolescents. In this age group adolescents are trying to distinguish between identity formations versus identity diffusion. My patient does appear to be at this stage, but she is on the opposite side of the spectrum, where she is presents actions that describe the identity diffusion. Identity diffusion is where the “adolescent fails to achieve a sense of identity.” Due to my patients traumatic past she is very self-conscious about her image, has low self-esteem, and a negative self-concept. Additionally, since she has had repeated stressors in her life such as physical, psychological abuse, death of a significant other, alcohol and drug abuse. Thus, she is less apt to form a stable identity. My patient is still trying to seek out who she is, but needs a stable role model in her life who she can look up to and guide her.

Greek culture is the source from which many of the characteristic elements of Western culture derive. Their explorations and innovations in art have both fascinated and inspired other civilizations for centuries. For this assignment I chose two Greek sculptures viewed at the Getty Museum. The first is Kouros circa 530 B.C. made of Dolomitic marble from Thasos and is approximately 200 cm (80 in) in height. The second is Cult Statue of a Goddess, (most likely Aphrodite) South Italy, 425 - 400 B.C. made of Limestone and marble. It stands at a height of 220 cm (86 5/8 in). There is some dispute to the authenticity of the Getty Kouros

The ancient Greeks believed in a strong mind and a strong body. Their celebration of the physical beauty and ability of the human body can be seen in their sculpture, writings, and sporting events. The physical beauty of the human body is shown in the marble sculpture “Kraisos” (Benton and DiYanni 64). The sculpture shows a male with a defined muscular mid-section, broad shoulders, and thick legs. There is more detail and a more natural appearance in this sculpture compared to a similar statue from approximately 60 years earlier. The face of the sculpture is realistic and the left foot is forward, as seen in Egyptian sculpture. The art of thought was established by the philosophers of ancient
