"Primitive" Greek Artwork: Outdoor Statuary

"Primitive" Greek Artwork: Outdoor Statuary Archaic Greeks were known for creating the first freestanding statuary; up until then, most carvings were formed out of walls and pillars as reliefs. Kouros figures, statues of young, good-looking male or female (kore) Greeks, made up the majority of the sculptures. Representing beauty to the Greeks, the kouroi were created to look stiff and always had foot in front; the males were healthy, robust, and nude. The kouroi started to be life-sized commencing in 650 BC. The Archaic period was an amazing time of transformation for the Greeks as they expanded into new forms of government, created fresh expressions of art, and achieved insights of the men and women and cultures outside of Greece. Nonetheless, the Greek civilization was not slowed down by these battles.

Dogs, Cats and Garden Fountains

Dogs, Cats and Garden Fountains House pets may be wary of a new water feature so be certain to take them into account before purchasing one. Your pet dog could think that your freestanding fountain looks like a big pond to drink from or a pool in which to swim. Your pets will not be negatively affected if you include a wall water element to your property. Your fountain may fascinate birds who think it is a great place to cool down, so it is important to think about where you will place this type of water feature. Putting a birdbath in your yard is the optimal answer if you want to attract birds. Dogs, Cats Garden Fountains 25378174975769187943.jpg
