Title
Terracotta statuette of a standing girl
Subject
Hellenistic Sculpture
Description
Medium: Terracotta
Dimensions: Overall: 4 1/2 x 1 3/4 x 1 1/16 in. (11.4 x 4.4 x 2.6 cm)
Classification: Terracottas
The two items I choose tell and show us how the sculptures were made in the Hellenistic period. They both show how they were dressed with robe like clothing and very loose clothing. From the readings we read this week it talked about how the sculptures were all dressed with loose clothing which proves my point in the pictures. This shows us how the people of this period had a strict dressing option for clothes and how they always choose to wear loose clothing. When you also look closely at the two objects you can see a lot of emotion which also tells us how the creators were so precise in making these sculptures. The big picture is that these objects were two big pieces in history because they show and tell us how they were made, we can learn so much from just looking at them. My learning objective is to understand a little more about how they made them so precisely.
