What are the differing functions of these large ambitious Temples? How do they define these two very different cultures, why is “the Parthenon so particularly influential for the European future. (3) The Athenian Greek sculpture made by Polykleitos of Argos, “The Spear Bearer” (the original of which was called the “Canon”) and defines the innovations of the immensely important CLASSICAL PERIOD in Greece. WHY? (DESCRIBE THIS WORK AS AN ORIGINAL NOT AS A COPY or you will do this paper over!) Discuss and define how this work defines the innovations of the classical era. How does it differ from the Greek Archaic “Kouros” of c. 525 bc? The poses are very different in important ways. Why? How do mathematics play a role? (4) COMPARE The REPUBLICAN Roman Bronze Sculpture “Aule Metele” early 1st c. BC with the IMPERIAL Roman “AUGUSTUS from PRIMAPORTA”, early 1st c.
