got to the memorial I heard a loud scraping sound. I walked into the room where the giant statue of Abraham Lincoln was supposed to be only to find that it wasn’t there! I still heard the scraping sound and didn’t know what to make of it before I heard a man groaning like he was stretching. While I was wondering what the scraping sound and where the statue were, I was shocked when I saw the 19ft statue of Abraham Lincoln just walk into the room! He then went and sat down in his chair and…

by ancient people, and hold many secrets about them.

It showed great strength and athleticism and was also said to show balance and harmony. Created by Myron, the Discobolus is as trademark, the body is neatly proportioned, very detailed too.

the Statue of Liberty is as equally important, with the Statue of Liberty being the symbol of the American experience and its leadership in hope and peace. In the passage “Address on the Occasion of the Fiftieth Anniversary of the Statue of Liberty” by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, he writes, “It was hope of those who gave us this statue and the hope of the American people in receiving it that the Goddess of Liberty and the Goddess of Peace were the same” (11). This means that the Statue of…

The statue of the Indigenous man next to the statue of the ANZAC solider is intended to be provocative, but also allows the audience to seriously rethink the heroism the two depicted men possess. Both the Indigenous man and the solider are carrying weapons in the statues, to highlight the fact that neither died willingly, nor without a fight. The two men are also depicted at the same height, suggesting that the pair aren’t too different. There is one significant difference between the statues…

is what the church expected artists to accomplish. The visitor’s interpretation gave “voice to mute objects” (Warwick 357) which was Bernini’s intention.

art, for me, was the face. Of the statues from Ancient Egypt I have seen, the faces are usually solemn and serene. In this statue of Amenhotep II, the face appears almost whimsical and amused. Though this is a somewhat trivial point, this aspect of the work of art is, in my opinion, what makes the work so different. The character depicted in the face of Amenhotep II shows a departure from the typical, almost rote, features of Pharaohs depicted in the form of statues. Otherwise, every other part…

The speaker’s utilization of diction, figurative language, and tone articulates the notion that one’s ambition to solidify their dominance will end in a fatalistic downfall. Shelley begins his poem with the visual of a traveller’s depiction of King Ozymandias statue. He frames her sonnet as a tale told…
