accepted as a good wife since Penelope capitulates to a passive hospitable role. The role of Penelope’s character adapts to the social mobility and influences presented in the Dark Ages, as Penelope is constructed by highly regarded views of males in ancient Greece, whilst being reworked as Penny to adopt to the circumstances of the great depression. Nonetheless, despite Penny using the similar tactics for survival, she is portrayed in a way she catalyzes the complications that Ulysses faces.…

The classical period is known as the period before Alexander the Great’s death. The Hellenistic period is known after his death. However, while he was alive he came up with great campaigns that changed the world of the Greeks. The differences that he attempted to change were the studies of the philosophy, science, religion, literature, and art.

the only surviving piece from the Greek sculptor Praxiteles. After the purchase, questions arose regarding the authenticity of the museum’s claims as well as the murky history of how this piece was procured and how it was found in Germany in the 1980’s. Scholars agree that Apollo is ancient, but are irresolute of the label the sculpture should don. Two arguments sprung from the display of this sculpture; one opinion is for the continuation of attributing the sculpture to Praxiteles due to most…

continuity of the story of David and Goliath. Four of such artists are Donatello, Verrocchio, and Michelangelo during the Renaissance period; and Bernini in the Baroque period. Each transformation of David is rendered in a distinctly different sculpture of the same subject reflecting each of the artist’s own style and time period in comparison. The inspiration of the subject matter is David; the courageous young Shepard who slew the giant Goliath with only a stone against insurmountable…

With Manning’s sculpture The Future Lady Killer a devilish baby is in a worn out crib. His inspiration stemmed from the baby onesies for boys that say on the front “future lady killer” meaning he will be irresistible and attract a ton of girls when he grows up into a man. However from Manning’s humorous perspective we see in literal terms he will actually grow up to be a murderer. Since the crib was made from old rusted cut wire and wood with a rustic old look it creates a disturbing…

world and has been perfected by people around the world.

There were two common processes for making terra cotta statuettes: handmade by sculptors or made using a mold (Huish 1900: 226). This Greek statuette was…

will evaluate and analyze the work of Henry Moore. Some of his work is display at The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art. I will be analyzing two of his sculptures, the “Torso” and the “Relief No. 1. These two pieces are unique in their own little ways. I hope after reading this paper you can get a feel of what I can interpret from these two sculptures. Henry Moore was born July 30, 1898 at Castleford in Yorkshire. The seventh of eight children of a mining engineer and homemaker, Moore was…
