The Parthenon is probably the most well-known of all Greek temples and took more than a hundred years to be constructed. The Parthenon has a preference for banked effect and the dramatic use of staircases, which according to Kostof displays one of the central
Egyptian artisans were instructed in the proper techniques to carry out their work in a very specific genre and style. I believe this is where the challenges would lye for myself. I feel like art is a personal expression and would find it very difficult to conform to a social standard. My personally opinion is that art should be used to express abstract thoughts, religious views, cultural beliefs, life, fantasy and
Sumerians based their gods according to the forces in nature they also had a close relationship with their gods even though their gods were known to be cruel; their worship was also based around divinity. The Sumerians believed that they existed and were on earth to serve the gods. People of all ages would suffer the gods fury and face challenges as a punishment from the gods if they did not serve or worship the gods properly. Both the gods and the people needed each other for example the gods needed the people to admire them and maintain them, meanwhile the gods from time to time would give them gifts or favors. It was believed that the kings were the gods’ representatives on earth; the kings had special privileges and special tasks that they had to accomplish.
The state of affairs was the best ever during his reign and during the whole ancient history of the country. Ramses was a good ruler who expanded Egypt's territory and ruled better than any Pharaoh has before of
The two civilizations had many things in common but were also very unique. Mesopotamia and Ancient Egypt were both polytheistic and built religious monuments. However, Egypt had a positive view of their gods, goddesses, and afterlife, whereas the Mesopotamians had a dismal view of their gods, goddesses, and afterlife.

Stepped forms were another important element in Art Deco, as can be best seen in some of the famous buildings that were created in this style. Other favoured components were trapezoids, zigzag lines, and a strong use of symmetry that could only be found in man-made objects. Motifs such as chevrons, sunbursts, spilling fountains, and even automobile grilles were key parts of the lexicon of Art Deco design. Much of the furnishings of Art Deco were a reaction to the austerity of World War I. Walls were painted cream or brown, and although left mostly plain, would sometimes have a thin border stencilled underneath the ceiling and in corners.
The Classical City of Olympia The classical Greek city has a variety of certain styles that have proven to be typical for the time period which the cities had been erect and populous.

How the ancient Greeks used lighting is also a distinguishing characteristic of their ancient cities. They also knew how the light interacted with the architecture to create seemingly massive and overpowering spaces that defined their building shapes and colors.
