Ancient Greece: Sculpture

The Peplos Kore and The Spear Bearer are examples of how quickly the Greeks grew, perfecting their technique in representing the human anatomy using sculpture. One is an earlier attempt and the other shows progress in detail and in the way the human figure could balance on two legs. Compare how these two sculptures differ in “style” by answering the following questions.
1) What was the “style” that the Peplos Kore was sculpted in and why do you say that?

2)List the 4 obvious things, or conditions that were necessary in order for a huge megalithic structure, such as Stonehenge, to be built.

3) What makes the Spear Bearer different in “style” from the Kore and what is the art term used to describe the way he is standing?

1) “The Peplos Kore (c. 530 BCE) is a fine example of the Attica style, standing in a rigid pose, obedient and immobile as it were, yet bursting with strength and femininity through her soft arms, the kind features of her face, and the subtle suggestion of the curvature of her body under the heavy peplos. The ornate hair that drapes naturally on her shoulders, her measured “smile” and the pigmented iris bestow a sense of abundant vivacity and potential energy to the statue.”

2) Not really sure on this one, perhaps it was the same as it is today to build a big structure:

i) Materials
ii) Labor
iii) Cooperation
iv) Community desire for such a structure
———————————
3) The Kore is rigid in form; the Spear Bearer is much more realistic or natural. The art term is ‘contrapposto’.
