Archaic Greek Art: Large Statuary
Archaic Greek Art: Large Statuary The primitive Greeks built the first freestanding statuary, an amazing achievement as most sculptures up until then had been reliefs cut into walls and pillars. Most of these freestanding sculptures were what is known as kouros figures, statues of young, attractive male or female (kore) Greeks. The kouroi were considered by the Greeks to represent beauty and were sculpted with one foot leading and an uncompromising stiffness to their forward-facing poses; the male statues were always strapping, brawny, and unclothed. In about 650 BC, the differences of the kouroi became life-sized. During the Archaic time, a great time of change, the Greeks were developing new sorts of government, expressions of art, and a better awareness of people and cultures outside Greece. And yet these disputes did not prohibit the expansion of the Greek civilization. {Keeping Your Large Outdoor Fountain Clean
Keeping Your Large Outdoor Fountain Clean Adequate care and regular cleaning are important to the longevity of water fountains. It is easy for foreign items to find their way into outside fountains, so keeping it clean is important. Also, algae is likely to build up any place natural light meets water. Either sea salt, hydrogen peroxide, or vinegar can be dissolved into the water to eliminate this issue. Some people opt for adding bleach into the water, but the drawback is that it harms wildlife - so it should be avoided.Experts suggest that the typical garden fountain undergoes a thorough cleaning every 3-4 months. Before you can start cleaning it you should drain out all of the water. Then use gentle and a soft sponge to clean the innner part of the reservoir. A useful tip is to use a toothbrush if there are little hard-to-reach spots. Be sure to completely rinse the interior of the fountain to make sure all the soap is gone.
Calcium and fresh water organisms could get inside the pump, so you should disassemble it to get it truly clean. Soaking it in vinegar for a bit will make it easier to wash. Build-up can be a big headache, so use mineral or rain water over tap water, when possible, to eliminate this dilemma.
Lastly, make sure your fountain is always full by checking on it every day - this will keep it in tip-top condition. Allowing the water to reach below the pump’s intake level, can cause major damage and even make the pump burn out - an undesired outcome!
