    Art and architecture are often used to convey power and authority of the historical time periods they represent.

Greek sculptors and other artists were fixated on creating images and statues that focused on the ideal aspects of the human body. By studying human beings and selecting human attributes that were considered the most desirable, sculptors were able to combine them into a single ideal and powerful illustration of physical perfection.…

Boxer (who represents the working class) worked harder and longer hours than any of the animals.…
