Does it tell a story? What is it? * The Archaic Torso of Apollo is indeed my favorite poem from Rainer Maria Rilke.

The Archaic style of sculpting started in the 18th century‚ right after the Mycenaean age. This was the start of the “Heroic” Age‚ the Olympic games were also established‚ and this was when Greeks returned the Human figure to Art. The sculptures created during this time period resembled pieces just like unnatural‚ rigid forms of Egyptian human sculptures.

Moreover‚ this issue is exacerbated because the Romans integrated their early history with mythology. Additionally‚ many of the Roman historians are writing their accounts several centuries later‚ and several of these histories‚ of the Roman republic and monarchy‚ are interlaced with fiction‚ and the biases of the authors. There were no historical

In the Archaic period‚ the Greeks developed a monumental stone sculpture for the representation of life-size‚ nude‚ young men (kouroi) and life-size‚ clothed‚ young women (korai). The kouroi‚ which were evidently made to serve a funerary purpose at a gravesite‚ emulate the frontal pose of standard Egyptian statues‚ but‚ over the course of the sixth century‚ are carved with increasingly more realistic anatomy. Faces‚ however‚ retain the conventional "Archaic smile" which serves to illustrate that

functions we have discovered that many students who would be originally dismissed as “lazy”‚ “unfocused” or more harshly described as “stupid” are in fact people who do not process data the traditional means. For these people using the simple and archaic form of studying does not truly benefit them‚ for people like myself the simple opening a book and reading it is not as helpful as watching videos or demonstrations about the subject or listening to someone explain
