1. Sees the past as a strange and different place, where the actions and culture of previous generations artists force the mind to bend to accept the abstract notions, ideals, fantasies and realities of humanity's past. 2. Thinks everything they arent used to is "gay". | ||

After all, a LOT of work went into creating a statue with the technology they had available to work stone, so they probably wouldnt rush the paint job either. Uhhhh minitures are highlighted and shadowed and inked only because they are so small. Blown up to life size none of that is required because it is clearly visible. You have to give minitures highlights and shadows because of their size and the fact that you can't see any naturally - it helps prevent them from looking unnatural by simulating what they would look like life sized. | ||

I'd heard about this in an art history class before. Maybe the knew they had been painted but now we know what the paint jobs looked like. | ||
