"It's so soft---I expected it to be hard" - Liz

So I tried to upload my picture for this blog but of course my computer won't let me right now. So I will keep trying to uplaod it in a different blog. Anyway..

Out of all the amazing statues and sculptures in the Capitoline Museum the one that I was drawn to and inspired by was of Athena. She is the Greek goddess of war, wisdom, arts, justice, industry and skill. As if all these things weren't enough to make her a big deal, she is also the daughter of Zeus who is pretty much the God of all Greek Gods, from his first wife. It's safe to say that since Athena is a Greek goddess this sculpture is a Roman copy of an original Greek sculpture. Not to mention the caption explaining the sculpture said so =) hehe

I am inspired by Athena because she is the ultimate example of a strong, talented and inteligent woman. Not only can she do anything physically, but she taps into every aspect of awesomeness and important things. She is all around just one bad booty.
