After viewing their recreations on the sites below, address the following questions.What issues arise when viewers realize they have been viewing ancient works in a manner that was not intended by the artist? (colorless rather than painted)?What do you think of the re-imaging process, what are the results and is your answer affected by a preconceived idea of what Greek sculpture should look like?
