my classmate’s response
I was surprised to learn that the Greeks painted their sculptures. I, like many others it seems, just assumed that the sculptures always appeared the way we see them today. Knowing that the sculptures used to be painted with bright colors does change the way I view Greek culture. I’m not disappointed to find out that the sculptures were originally painted, but I do feel that the paint takes away from the majestic vibe that typically goes along with Greek art and sculptures.
