What film for landscape and why? - Acros

Actually as representations of gods and goddesses, they *were* created to evoke emotions. Awe, fear, admiration... You can hardly say that religious figures do not evoke emotions in the faithful. One didn't go anywhere in ancient Greece by making a piece of art of everyman, so Gods it was. Further, ancient Greek art was largely a movement to evince and perpetuate ideal forms, and proportions, and it was quite regimented. It was what we would call craftsmanship today. (Rather how I feel about the F64 school.) |
