Parthénos
12” x 4” x 6”
Birch wood, acrylic and wall paint, black ink pen, black alcohol markers, high gloss varnish, wood glue, flat head screws.
I did this piece for my sculpture class and I love how it turned out! We had to do either three small sculptures or two larger ones that played with the principals of art. I wanted to play with colour and repetition (there are definitely other principles at play as well), so I decided on simplifications/abstractions of landmarks!
This one is inspired by the Parthenon in Athens. Luckily I have a friend who’s studying to be an architect so she was able to share a few pdf’s with the general lay out of the temple. I wanted to try to emulate the feeling of the temple being worn down by time with the broken and fallen columns. I also wanted to do something different then just making it all white, so I got some nice paint from Home Depot and based the paint job off black figure pottery!
The columns are attached by drilling into the base and columns and then twisting the columns onto the screws. For strength I put a little bit of wood glue on the screw before hand.

📍Athens Greece 🇬🇷
Athens is the capital of Greece and the birthplace of one of the most important civilizations of the ancient world. Dating back to the 5th century BC, Athens is known as the cradle of philosophy, democracy and art🖼
The Acropolis, the most famous structure of the city, carries the traces of the past to the present with the Parthenon Temple and ancient theaters. In addition to its historical richness, Athens offers a unique experience to its visitors with its modern cafes, restaurants and shopping opportunities 🏛
Steeped in history and with a vibrant and dynamic atmosphere, Athens is an indispensable destination for culture and history lovers🌅
