Chapter 5 Vocabulary

1. Classical

 I'm a bit of a mythology hound, so I took a more literal approach to this term. This piece is a portrayal of Pygmalion and Galatea. In Roman mythology, Pygmalion was a sculptor who had carved a sculpture so beautiful, he fell in love with it.

2. Mandala

Apart from mythology, I also have an interest in Buddhist culture. This is an example of Mandala art I found online.
