Gudea Statue

I think about how the world had betrayed this women. They made this woman plump and empty, she does not even have a face. This statue is nude showing everything to the naked eye, she does not have a desirable body. This sculpture shows how much a woman was respected back in the day, which was very little.

I can only tell by body language that they want to spread heroism between men and women. The use of marble links the sculpture to the glow and smoothness of the male skin. In this sculpture, it appears to be characterized by imagery aimed at the sense of the marble statue. The standing sculpture appears to be relaxed, while the median line makes an angle. While standing upright, the figure’s feet are place in a certain way that brings a shifting effect or movement and a stable poise.

As we look to (Source F: Roadside America), we are forced to look upon the godly creation of a simple man that catches and sells lobsters for a living. The passage goes on to talk about how the statue was short of funding so they slapped on a layer of bronze. While this was a last attempt to finish the project, and by no means as majestic as the original design would have been, there is no argument that the bronze sculpture creates an unworldly image upon which we all can look. It would appear that all forms of monuments have to have an out-of-this-world arou to them. Seeing as the monument is honoring those who went above and beyond and did more than the typical person's expectations of life. It only makes sense that the constructions to show their actions was also above and beyond what typical human beings are usually displayed as. No matter what monument you decide to focus on, they are all in a way greater than life itself and create for an atmosphere of awe. The statues of men, the monuments for the moments of disparity in the country, the creations of wonder for those times of extreme success, they all are more than any other form of glorification, and rightfully

The statue shows the God in a good light and as a muscular and fit being, but at the same time is portrayed in an extremely unrealistic way.

The statue has so many little yet powerful symbols that truly make it a unique and one-of-a-kind piece. The torch for example is a symbol that is used to represent enlightenment, liberty, and freedom. The illumination from this torch

Guernica is monochromatic to make its imagery more powerful. Lack of color keeps the viewer focused on the subject matter at hand, as well as keeping the mural cold, which agrees with its general theme of injustice in war. Also, Picasso’s flat imagery does not distract the viewer from concentrating on imagery. The viewer is given no other choice than to concentrate on the subject matter of Guernica and ponder it’s meaning. The flat, grayscale images generalize the imagery and contribute to the general theme of unnecessary suffering and tragedy.

In this time period the man is usually depicted striding forward. The Dimensions of the sculpture are 62x 24.5x 15.2cm and it was sculpted from limestone and paint (Metropolitan Museum of Art a, 2016). The Statue of Gudea depicts a seated man sitting in front of his subjects with his hands folded in prayer. There is writing on his robe which indicates all of the different temples that he has constructed and fixed in the Lagash area of ancient Iraq. The dimensions of the sculpture are 44 x 21.5 x 29.5cm. (Metropolitan Museum of Art b, 2016). The statue is made from the Diorite which is a type of course rock (Geology,

art was that it, and many statues like it, were to be placed in the temples that Gudea worked to

Both sculptures give a few views of how these individuals were looked at. They were gods so the sculptors portrayed them as such and they did it with great skill. We will observe and pick apart these “Gods” doing things that normal humans cannot no do. Such as holding the world on their shoulders or sleeping on a snake with ease. This idea of mythical beings has been around for many years along with their religious beliefs, no one honestly knows if they ever existed but through evidence found, we think otherwise. We think this because the viewer sees one of the "Gods" asleep on a serpent(snake), then the other sculpture is of "Gods" assisting another holding the world (heavens). Two examples of mythical "beings" would be the sculpture of

95% of the Moai statues were carved straight from volcanic tuff, a pore stone made from compressed ash. They were carved by the Rapanui people in 1100-1680 A.D by using stone tools, and their bare hands, archaeologist believe that with this method it would have taken them years to complete just one Moai statue. They were found by Jakob Roggeveen in 1659-1769. Altho the Island is located in South America is it owned by chilli. Archaeologists have recently discovered that the Easter Island stone heads actually have bodies, this is absolutely incredible. The reason people think they are [only] heads

When examining the statue, there is an old woman bent and weary. Her posture helps clue us in, with her age and the state of her health. The figure is dressed in cloth that drapes off her body as she carries a basket that is filled with what we may think are offerings. On her head, there are vines that create a band around the top of her head used to signify the festival that was going on during that time. The specific detail that is seen on this statue persuades us to want to know the story of this woman. Doing so, the process involves lots of research about the time and art. During the hellenistic period, artists begin to introduce more inner beauty than physical beauty. There is an opportunity to learn more about the structure itself, then settle for what is given and seen.

Discovery of Statues in Lagash Lagash was one of the oldest cities in Sumer and Babylonia. Today it is represented by a long line of ruin mounds, which are rather low, now known as Tello al-Hiba in Iraq. Located northwest of the junction of the Euphrates and Tigris rivers, and east of the ancient city of Uruk, it is positioned on the dry bed of an ancient canal, approximately 10 miles north of the modern town of Shatra. # The ruins of Lagash were discovered in 1877 by Ernest de Sarzec, a Frenchman, who was allowed by the Montefich chief, Nasir Pasha, to excavate the site at his pleasure in the territories under the governing of Nasir Pasha.

From an historical perspective, this piece is an excellent example of early classical Rome. You can sense the respect and admiration that the average Roman citizen had for Augustus, in the fine details of the sculpture.

Our world is full of so many grandiose monuments, eye-catching sculptures, and stunning statues, each having an individual story to tell. Thousands of them have been created however, only a small number of them are actually extraordinary and picture-worthy. This paper will compare and contrast two of those picture-worthy sculptures. Furthermore, I will examine the aspects of each of these sculptures. I will compare and contrast what each of them represents, the differences in texture, their size and their tone.

Many people think this is a very important statue. However, not all critics are obsessed
