FaithManor Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 So I say to ds, after he has completed his art history reading for the day, "Name three main concepts that characterize the classical era of Greek art." He gave me a decent answer, but then responded with this follow up: "I know this is not what you are looking for, however, the main idea in Greek art was apparently nude dudes." Me: "Well yes, they did consider the human body to be quite beautiful and commemorated it in sculpture." Him: "Okay, maybe, just maybe the female form is worth sculpting. But as for guys, well, if the theory of evolution is seeking its missing link, it just has to pick any random guy and strip him butt.naked! There's your missing link!" I have removed myself from his presence so I can snicker in privacy. Faith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiana Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Dang, my answer to the three main ideas in greek art would have been three unmentionable bits of the body. :D (aren't you glad you're not my mother/teacher) :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
