I wanted to investigate the features that made them similar, but more importantly, what features stood out from the other cultures. The most noticeable difference is the attention to detail to the woman's figure increasing over time. Even though all 3 women are very important, they all share the impression that they have power such as the materials used for their headdresses and Livia being an orator and showing the power to be listened to.]]> 2020-05-01 03:23:24 UTC https://padlet.com/0shannen0/j81kh5furbhm5y66/wish/543417024 0shannen0 https://padlet.com/0shannen0/j81kh5furbhm5y66/wish/543428816 Made in the 1st century by Euphranor with marble.]]> 2020-05-01 03:42:56 UTC https://padlet.com/0shannen0/j81kh5furbhm5y66/wish/543428816 0shannen0 https://padlet.com/0shannen0/j81kh5furbhm5y66/wish/543429033 Made around 1340 BCE by Thutmose with limestone.]]> 2020-05-01 03:43:17 UTC https://padlet.com/0shannen0/j81kh5furbhm5y66/wish/543429033 0shannen0 https://padlet.com/0shannen0/j81kh5furbhm5y66/wish/543429466 Made in 438 BCE by Phidias with gold and ivory.]]> 2020-05-01 03:43:59 UTC https://padlet.com/0shannen0/j81kh5furbhm5y66/wish/543429466 0shannen0 https://padlet.com/0shannen0/j81kh5furbhm5y66/wish/559006418 "The Beautiful Woman Has Come" the meaning behind her name. Nefertiti was a pharaoh who has been represented here with a headdress to indicate her status in society. Even though Egyptian works of art during this time period were highly idealized, we can infer that her sculpture was too. But to the extent is unknown given the meaning of her name. Known for changing the religion in Egypt from polytheistic to monotheistic and only worshipping the sun god, Nefertiti is powerful not only as a ruler, but as an influencer for her people.]]> 2020-05-08 04:42:10 UTC https://padlet.com/0shannen0/j81kh5furbhm5y66/wish/559006418 0shannen0 https://padlet.com/0shannen0/j81kh5furbhm5y66/wish/559019639 The goddess of war and wisdom, Athena was already regarded as very powerful. We can see that she has won a battle based on her armor, and that she is also holding her Nike Athena that represents victory. Besides her role for war and violence, Athena was also worshipped for her role in wisdom and righteousness, which made her more beloved by the Greeks during this time. This is also evident in that her sculpture is made with gold and ivory, very precious materials meant for someone very powerful such as Athena. ]]> 2020-05-08 05:00:58 UTC https://padlet.com/0shannen0/j81kh5furbhm5y66/wish/559019639 0shannen0 https://padlet.com/0shannen0/j81kh5furbhm5y66/wish/559027899 The wife of the emperor doesn't initially seem like she has much power on her own. However, Livia had power over her husband as she was his advisor, and could influence his decisions. Not only did her husband consult her, but she would also preach prayers to others in the Christian society. In her sculpture, she is posed as an orator, which would be what she was most known for doing in her life. Perhaps, the most detailed and realistic of the 3 sculptures.]]> 2020-05-08 05:12:46 UTC https://padlet.com/0shannen0/j81kh5furbhm5y66/wish/559027899
