"Primitive" Greek Artwork: Garden Statuary
"Primitive" Greek Artwork: Garden Statuary
Archaic Greeks were well known for providing the first freestanding statuary; up until then, most carvings were constructed out of walls and pillars as reliefs. For the most part the statues, or kouros figures, were of young and attractive male or female (kore) Greeks. Thought of by Greeks to represent beauty, the kouroi were shaped into inflexible, forward facing poses with one foot outstretched, and the male statues were always nude, well-built, and athletic. The kouroi started to be life-sized commencing in 650 BC. A significant age of improvement for the Greeks, the Archaic period brought about new forms of government, expressions of artwork, and a higher appreciation of people and cultures outside of Greece. Nonetheless, the Greek civilization was not slowed down by these struggles.

One way to produce a cooling effect is to fan clean, dry air across them. Either your ceiling fan or air from a corner of the room can be used to augment flow. The most critical consideration is to ensure that the air is continuously flowing over the surface of the water. It is normal for fountains and waterfalls to generate cool, fresh air. Merely being in the vicinity of a large public fountain or waterfall will send a sudden chill through whoever is close by. Your fountain cooling system should not be installed in a spot which is especially hot. If you are looking for an efficient cooling system, it should be placed away from direct sunlight.
