I liked...what is it called? Athenian guy because he was the first one who showed movement! He had he leg OUT and it was totally crazy!
My art history experience might have been different from yours... Kronos! Kronos Boy? Well, whatever, there was a guy some other guy sculpted and for the first time ever the sculpture had his leg out and this was big news.

Please do not be disgusting! This thread is about art. I think.

So, what do we got...columns! Three kinds, as I recall. Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian. I cannot tell the difference...wait, those are Roman, aren't they?

Shoot.

the ancient greeks loved to get high as balls cause all their early votive and alter statues had huge pupils from mushroom or w/e hallucinogenic they used during the mysteries
