Correct vocabulary words that relate to the works
Include the purpose of your art and reasons why it was important.
If you choose a sculpture: What are your thoughts? How will you approach this task? How will you capture personality and ruling style in stone or bronze? Are they benevolent? An angry dictator? Fair, biased? etc… Then how would you capture that? Much like Augustus is shown as a descendant of a god and mighty warrior; able to command armies and conquer countries, he is shown as youthful and strong. His story is told on his breastplate. Take Marcus Aurelius, he is shown as a Greek philosopher, sporting a beard…Look up other examples by searching for busts of other emperors and then search to find their personalities.
Use these ideas to think, if you were hired to sculpt an emperor, build a building, paint a fresco, how would you approach it? What would you feel, think? Would you be confident or scared? Write it out as if you’re writing in journal…terswll a story, be creative.–
