INTRODUCTION
In this assignment, I am being tested on my understanding of the theory tackled in Histo-ry of Graphic Design as I will be correlating my findings with some modern examples. So, I will discuss each image in their chronological orders as well …show more content…
So the Kritian Boy is the first image in all the years that reflected a true and realis-tic human body created by the Greeks and carved out of marble. The details and propor-tions that were applied to it made it appear lifelike and realistic (see figure 7).
This realism was true to life and as you can see, represented a true human form, much like we are all made today. However, this type of sculpture and drawing did last not and this is because the people of that time got bored of seeing such images and they wanted something fascinating. By doing so, they started to exaggerate some human body parts like the limbs among others which leads us back to the Venus of Willendorf on how the features on her body were exaggerated. Now we can see that artists and humans were bored with reality which is why they had to create something more human than human.

For physically-demanding sports, like American football, it's as young as 28.”
This is quite apparent in the Olympics where it is rare to find athletes of such an old age, hence being unrealistic. It is also interesting to note that it was made with the statue standing in a contrapposto stance.
To prove my point view, I found another one of the sculptures made at that time which is known as the Diskobolos, carved by Myron, around 450 B.C and I compared it to a man doing the same thing. As you can see in that sculpture, the athlete is recorded in motion throwing a discus. The proportions of the statue were carved properly and it really brought out the sense of motion, but if you analyse it properly, his facial expressions are so relaxed that it feels like he does not have a load in his hands as compared to the oth-er image where one can see the strength and effort used to throw the discus. This means that the Greeks took the Egyptian techniques and exaggerated them in their own ways, hence losing the concept of
