Week 6: Melissa Purner

I couldn't help but think that the reading by Nodelman was bland and hard to follow.  In contrast I thought the work by Kemp was much more accessible to those who are not as formally educated in Greek and roman art.  The point about the art work in the Roman Empire being propaganda was very valid,espically in the Cesar example, as he stands proudly with his arm out facing Rome and his warrior chest plate.  I too wish I could see the Greek works for what they originally were, due to the fact that details may have been left out during the copying.
