athena attacking the giants

I chose this picture of athena attacking the giants because this is first time their culture expressed murals with drama. this was very different to them because usually their figures based of a normal pose with one foot forward and a strong looking pose. having a little smirt on their face. Now i like this piece of work becuase it tells a story. Finally we can see that not everything was good. There was drama and anger and war and all the good stuff

I feel like so often in this day and age people emphasize all the wrong and bad going on, for example the news. You hear so often about the bad guys, the nasty fires, the terrible disasters- not so much the good things going on. Why? Because viewers are more amazed by all the crazy negative things going on. For some time I started to wonder with a lot of this artwork from way back when, through art they expressed all of this good going on- I agree, about time some "attacking" and disaster is being shown through art.
