The document describes a series of math exercises related to analyzing famous sculptures. The exercises include calculating volumes and surface areas of sculptures, constructing scaled-down models, analyzing dimensions, and performing statistical analysis on the heights of constructed sculptures. The sculptures discussed come from various sources including metro stations in Athens, the National Archaeological Museum in Athens, and the Polytechnic School of Athens.

2. EXERCISE 1
The company Attiko Metro SA, that is responsible for the operation of metro
stations in Athens , for the first time in public works, managed to integrate art into
the everyday life of the citizens thanks to the 30 contemporary works of art of well-
known Greek artists who today adorn the Metro Stations of Athens.
One of the them is the famous painter and sculpture Opy Zouni (1941-), that uses
geometric art
Title: Kion (column)
Location: Egaleo Station (Ticket Level)
Construction Year: 2008
Construction Material: Acrylic and plywood
Artist: ZouniZouni
Dimensions: 20X20X250cm,
a. What kind of shape do you see in the picture above?
b. Draw a matching sculpture using cardboard and paint white / black lines as in the
photo.
Subsequently:
c. Calculate the volume of the sculpturein m2.

3. d. Calculate the volume of your construction.
e. Find how much of your building's volume is smaller than the volume of the
sculpture?
f. Find the total surface that covers the white and black colors
Solutions
a. (10 m2)

4. Exercise 2
Head of a Cycladic statue with plastic rendering of the nose, ears and mouth. Eye
painting is rendered, and there are other traces of painting on the face. Found in
Amorgos, 2800-2300 BC , called Early Cycladic II period. National Archaeological
Museum item No3909, Athens
1. Solve the following to find the dimensions (in cm) of the sculpture :
Width = 1+ 3 * (- 2) 2 + (5-2 2) (3 * 2-2 2)
Height = - (- 3) 3 + 2 2 - (- 1) 2
2. Create a sculpture in relation to the image with climax 1: 2.
(The letters will help you to measure the distances between the different parts
of the sculpture)

Five Pyramids, 1998
Acrylic in wooden constructions
60-66x18x18 cm, 47-58x17x17 cm
1. Build the above square pyramids at 1:20
2. Measure and Calculate the surface of each pyramid.
3. Round the above values into the unit.

6. Exercise 4
Large Cycladic figurine from Amorgos, marble, height 152 cm, 2800-2300 BC,
National Archaeological Museum, Athens
1. Analyze the height in prime factorization.
2. Find the dividers of height.
3. To build a similar sculpture with a height of 10% of the original.
Solutions
1. (23*19)
2. (1,2,4,8,19,38,76,152)
3. (height = 15,2 εκ)

1. Find the symmetry axis for each sculpture.
2. Build the above sculptures at a ratio of 1:30
3. Find the average value of the height of the statues you built.
4. Find the median of the heights of the statues you built.
