Reviews of Classical Greece

I appreciated Kristina's approach to comparing modern applications of ancient ideals.  Her representation of how the Grecian sculptures each posed for a story or a person, and then comparing it to the Statue of Liberty was perfect, as it does the same for us today. She also went into great detail about the Doric order and its 3 classic column designs which I find to be a great reflection of an advancement in design during this time period.

I also visited Ali's blog, and the picture she used as an example of Greek implication into 21st century design was holistic and very accurate.  It represented the splayed legs and curved back of the Klismos Chair as well as the intricacy of the architectural elements on the walls and ceiling.
