Romans created sculptures for several reasons: to symbolize and depict realism in their art, to admire the human form, and to emulate Greek sculptures which they saw as the pinnacle of artistic perfection. They paid close attention to detail in sculptures like wrinkles and textures to represent their subjects as accurately as possible. Romans also admired strong, muscular physiques and were not shy about depicting figures without clothing to represent their gods and ancestors as fearless. They looked to Greeks as intellectual leaders in art and adapted Greek artistic styles and traditions of creating sculptures of religious subjects to their own beliefs.

The etruscans and the roman empire
The Etruscans inhabited central Italy between the Arno and Tiber rivers from the 7th century to 89 BCE. They emerged as a distinct culture with wealthy city-states and were originally influenced by Mesopotamian and Greek art. Over time, Etruscan art became more Greek in style as they traded extensively with Greece. Etruscan rule over Rome ended in the 5th century BCE and their culture was gradually assimilated into the growing Roman Republic and Empire. Roman art was initially inspired by Greek styles but developed its own forms like veristic portraiture and architecture using concrete, which spread across Europe and the Mediterranean as the Empire expanded over centuries.

Risk assessment
This risk assessment document outlines safety precautions for a craft project involving cans, dirt, scissors, a glue gun, newspaper, and sculpture construction. Key risks addressed include cuts from open can edges or scissors, burns from the hot glue gun, slips on spilled materials, and objects falling over if not properly supported. Proper materials handling and supervision were required to complete the project safely.
How have costumes and textiles changed over the years
Clothing has evolved significantly over time. Early humans wore animal skins and other natural materials for protection and warmth starting over 100,000 years ago. The development of sewing around 40 AD allowed for more complex clothing like togas and tunics. In the 1770s, the invention of the sewing machine made clothing production more efficient. Throughout history, fashion diversified and became more about self expression, influenced by events like wars, music trends, and expanded material options. Today, clothing design is highly varied and people generally have more freedom to choose their own styles compared to strict standards of the past.
What are visual arts?
Visual arts include mediums such as paintings, sculptures, drawings, prints, and architecture that primarily stimulate visual perception. They often convey messages and can be used to raise awareness for issues. Visual arts appeal to sight and generally exist as physical objects or experiences that can be seen. Examples include paintings, sculptures, films, and buildings.
Sound wave and golden flapper dress
The sculpture "Sound Wave" is made from melted recycled records bent into the shape of a wave, expressing the artist's feelings about the preciousness of music and people's failure to recycle. It shows his musical tastes and love of music in a creative way.

Robert Bradford is an artist known for his unusual sculptures made from recycled materials. He was inspired to make toy-like sculptures by looking through his children's toy boxes and being intrigued by the colors and forms. Bradford uses a variety of found objects and environmental waste in his artwork, such as magazines, timber, and tree branches, partly because it is inexpensive. He creates human-sized and larger-than-life animal sculptures to imagine what it would be like to be other creatures and represent all living things that share the environment. Bradford assembles his sculptures using techniques like sticking together plastic pegs to form limbs, and credits the original creators of any ideas he adapts for his unique works.
Brainstorm ideas of our sculpture
The document provides a list of ideas and materials for creating sculptures and displays about environmental issues and sustainability. Some of the ideas mentioned include making a globe, frame, robot, and tree out of recycled materials like cans, cardboard, plastic, and wood to promote messages around reducing waste, saving energy, and protecting the environment. The list appears to be brainstorming concepts for an art installation about recycling and sustainability.
Techniques needed to make our sculpture
The document discusses the techniques needed to create a sculpture out of recyclable materials. The main part of the sculpture will be a man made out of aluminum Coke cans glued together using a glue gun. Aluminum strips cut from cans and glued to the back will support the sculpture. A bin will be made by gluing cans together and adding cardboard strips inside for stability and strength. The techniques of gluing, cutting, and sticking aluminum cans and cardboard allow for easy construction of the sculpture from recyclable materials.

reasons romans made sculpture
- 1. Why Romans made Sculptures<br />40957509728201 reason Romans created sculpture is because they wanted to symbolise what they saw and they wanted to show perfection about their art and their vision. They liked to do things in a lot of detail and wanted to be as precise as they can. They showed this by making sculptures and pieces of art relating to someone or something, an example of this is the picture of the sculpture on the right. This Roman sculpture is characterized by its realism and its wart. As you can see the Roman who created this sculpture tried as accurately as he could have to get everything to detail such as the wrinkles, the eye brow shape, the hair and the skin texture.<br />4095750494665Another reason Romans created sculptures in because they admired human form and admired. Many Roman sculptures symbolised and showed people with no clothes on. This is because they liked the form of human body and they thought the human body was very inspiring and important as they believed the Gods and Goddesses had human bodies and looked like people with human characteristics. The picture shows that the sculpture was representing someone very manly and strong looking and the man is also naked. This shows that the Romans must have admired the strong looking physique and they were not embarrassed to show it. The Romans looked up to their ancestors and Gods and Goddesses and wanted to show them as strong and fearless so the best way of doing this is by showing them off without clothes, they may have been trying to show their Gods and Goddesses through making sculpture. <br />40957501252855Romans looked up to Greeks even though they battled and had kept Greeks as slaves but because Greeks were very good with art and made very good naked sculpture of Gods and Goddesses the Romans adapted their culture and art to also look like Greek art so they also started creating sculpture because they thought Greeks were very intellectual. They soon started creating sculpture of their religion and beliefs such as sculpture of their Gods and Goddesses because Greeks were extremely precise and detailed with their art and tried to make it is perfect as possible. Romans started making sculpture influenced by Greek sculpture and started to use a lot of detail and perfection. <br />
