Diorama Draft (01)

Diorama Project Research Experience Summary

31/5/2019 Day 4- 4 hours before class, decided to review and briefly summarize my ideas for Roman artworks to display on the diorama.

Wall Paintings (Cartwright, M 2013)

• Preference of use of natural earth colors for their more immersive texture and feel.
• Subject matters include:
  • Gladiator fights
  • Landscapes, including buildings and gardens
  • Still life
• Their 4 separate styles and their distinguishing features.

Sculptures (Cartwright, M 2017)

• Preserved Greek art through creating approximate copies.
• Romans preferred bronze and marble for their combination of durable and reflective properties.
• Architectural sculptures.
