Question

Explain the importance and attributes of three Greek Orders.

Answer 1

Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian 

Answer 2

Answer:

This is the sample answer:  

The Doric Order was the oldest and most stable because of its wider style that was not fluted or adorned. Its capital consisted of an abacus and a curved, trapezoidal echinus. The Ionic Order was much more slim and elegant than the Doric Order and had a more decorative capital with spiraled volutes atop the echinus. Finally, the Corinthian Order was the most slender with the most decorative capital, featuring smaller volutes and acanthus leaves.
