Something interesting I learnt about this week in classics was the representation of mythological figures in art throughout time, beginning with the gothic styles of the dark ages to the romanticism of the 1800s and all the various styles in between. I learnt about how Greek and Roman sculptures were always having the weight of the sculpture on one side of the body and how during the renaissance sculptors tried to copy that style. Overall I find art history rather boring but this lesson was actually rather interesting.
