Question 2

Making the corner columns thinner to allow maximum light into the cella
Creating a slight convex swelling (entasis) in the column shafts and curving horizontal lines upward toward the center

Carving sunken bas-relief metopes that curve inward to project artificial shadows across the frieze

It introduces humanized emotion, graceful sensuality, and an exaggerated S-curve torso requiring external structural support
It rejects marble in favor of colossal chryselephantine assembly techniques exclusively
It focuses strictly on civic military triumphs using flat low-relief narrative friezes
Question 5
Which characteristic stylistic features define Hellenistic Greek sculpture as seen in works like the 'Nike of Samothrace' and the 'Laocoön and His Sons' group?
Severe geometric abstraction, strict symmetry, and calm unemotional gazes
Flat relief carving without spatial depth, heavy stylized drapery, and rigid frontality
Dynamic diagonal lines, dramatic emotional expression (pathos), swirling drapery, and theatrical interaction with surrounding space
Minimalist reduction of form, smooth unworked surfaces, and complete rejection of narrative subject matter
