- Before, I thought that sculptures are just a form of art that represents a character. I always kept in mind that they are just representations and has nothing to do with form and beauty. For me, they are made to tell a story or a memory of that important man or woman in that sculpture.

- I want to learn how to interpret a sculpture in its form and beauty. I want to learn how to look at every detail and see the deeper meaning of the sculpture as a fine art. I also want to learn the difference between the different sculptures in the world.

Greek: Supreme art. Greeks analyzed what made a thing beautiful, they discovered it was due to harmony, where nothing is out of proportion.

Roman: Founded upon that of the Greeks; Roman sculpture is essentially the continuation and expansion of Greek sculpture.

1. Orientation-spatial plan or scheme of reference in the sculpture itself, or between parts of it, or between the sculpture and the viewer, or between the sculpture and its surroundings.

2. Proportion- classical canon of proportion (the Canon) by Polykleitos of Argos.

3. Scale- the size of a sculpture in relation to its surroundings.

4. Articulation- this refers to how sculptural figures are jointed; either how the parts of a body merge into a single form, or how separate sections come together.

5. Balance- this refers to the physical stability of the figures, dynamic or static equilibrium
