Point: the Doric capitals are more ornate.

Evidence: the absence of an abacus, replaced instead with volutes, and a thinner echinus.

Analysis: the capital thus appears less bold and masculine and the extra detail of the volute creates an ornate and intricate picture.

# data[].attributes.body
Point: The Ionic order could be seen as more intricate and detailed than the Doric order due to the fact that the Ionic's fluting is much closer together than the Dorics is.
Evidence: This is due to the fillets joining to make flat surfaces giving a more tapered affect
Analysis: The fluting thus appears and gives the impression of a more ornate and detailed shaft than that of the Doric.

Point: The Siphnian Treasury is very feminine, not least because of its caryatid.

Evidence: The Siphnian Treasury has two caryatids in the form of korai.

Analysis: Evidently the female form is feminine and this femininity was often furthered by the addition of real jewellery and bright paint. Earrings can even be seen in their ears.

Point: we see the ionic order being more ornate and elegant is the carving on the column

Evidence: Doric order has fluting and Ionic has fillets

Analysis: filleting brings extra detail to the column rather than just fluting as it makes the fluting look closer together.

Point- The volute that the ionic order has is very elaborate and intricate detail.
Evidence-  the Temple of Apollo is Doric, The Siphian treasury is Ionic.
Analysis- By having the volutes the columns become more decorative. The doric order is purely there for structural purposes, whereas the Ionic order still maintains the structure but adds a decorative feel with the volutes.

point: One place we see the Doric column looking ornate and delicate is on the anthemion.( A small band which goes around the temple from soft moulding)
Evidence: in Siphnian treasury the anthemion has a detailed lotus and palmette which was made up from detailed and carefully crafted moulding
Analysis: This makes the temple look more intricate as each part is so detailed. Especially as the temple is small the more detail makes the temple look more impressive.

# data[].attributes.body
Point: the less accentuated tapering of the ionic columns makes them more delicate and feminine-looking.

Evidence: The base of the Doric column is thicker.

Analysis: The ionic column is more slender and less sturdy-looking.

# data[].attributes.body
POINT: The capital of an Ionic order temple is more elegant than the Doric order capital.

EVIDENCE: This is seen as there is a volute, and the capital is more curved. Where a Doric capital is separated into 3 sections (abacus, echinus and necking) with rectangular shaping.

ANALYSIS: The Ionic order is therefore more aesthetically pleasing and elegant, as it has a flowing design (volute). The doric order shows a more simple capital, with sharp, rigid shapes, making it less delicate.

P: Ionic order is more ornate in the columns with the inclusion of caryatids in some temples, instead of columns and capitals.
E: on the Syphnian Treasury two korai are inlaid into the columns. They were highly decorated with paint, gilding, coloured gems and jewellery.
A: The highly colourful and decorated image of the maidens makes the column more ornate and sophisticated than the Doric, with entirely plain columns.

# data[].attributes.body
Point: Ionic order is found more feminine than doric with the differences between the detailed volute on the ionic order compared to the simplistic abacus and echinus.

Evidence: curved more intricate structure of the volute. This is in comparison with the block like structure of the abacus and echinus, displaying simplistic shapes and little detail. An key example displaying the detail of the volute is shown on the Erechtheion in Athens, especially with such a decorative echinus below the volute with intricate designs of lotus and palmette.

Analysis: The curves and intricate designs displayed on the ionic order enhances the feminine quality compared to a more basic doric order

# data[].attributes.body
Point : Ionic is considered more ornate than doric because of the aspects of detail, volutes/columns/frieze

Evidence: Volutes are intricate with less geometric lines and shaping/ aesthetically pleasing - while a doric capital consists of geometric lines

Analysis: Volute - more ornate (less structural and more decorative) Elaborate compaired to basic lines of a doric structure.

Point:
An area of the Ionic order which appears more elegant than the Doric is the shaft.

Evidence:
The fluting on the ionic order is much closer together than the doric and contains fillets rather than arises. Equally the shaft as a whole is slimmer and thus more delicate looking.

Analysis:
The tapering on the Doric order is much more pronounced and further apart whereas the Ionic column's tapering is more detailed and ornate with the fillets close together in a decorative design. This creates an elegance and feminine feel to it.

# data[].attributes.body
Point: The ionic order is  not more feminine than the doric order.

Evidence: Doric order includes the guttae on the bottom of the triglyph.

Analysis: The guttae provide an extra level of intricacy to the triglyph. The ionic order, however, doesn't have any triglyphs, so doesn't include this detail.

COUNTERPOINT:
Even though the ionic doesn't have any triglyphs,  the frieze allows for sculptures to be put on the temple. This gives the opportunity for a narrative to be established through the sculptures and put the temple in context. Therefore there is more opportunity for the temple to be ornate.

Conc: Doric includes intricacies such as the guttae, however, the continuous frieze in the ionic allows for more detail in the temple. (:

Point: Another area where we see the Ionic order appearing more ornate and elegant than the Doric is in the column itself.

Evidence: The columns of the Doric order are usually wider and more tapered, sometimes lacking fluting, whereas the Ionic columns have fluting with elaborate arises and fillets.

Analysis: The arises and fillets give more shape and structure to the columns and allow them to have more consistent and stronger shape all the way down the shaft.

1. Consider AO1 (evidence) and AO2 (analysis)

2. To push your answer further use a specific temple/treasury to support your answer

POINT:
One area where we see the Ionic order appearing more ornate and elegant than the Doric is at the base of the column.

EVIDENCE: The columns of the doric order go straight into the stylobate, whereas the base of ionic columns are cushioned with layered levels which sit on the stylobate.

ANALYSIS: The doric design gives a simple yet sturdy impression to the temple whereas the ionic design is more elaborate and detailed and creates an elegant balance with the ornate volute capital at the top of the column
