musickatia [10]3 years ago

The kouros type appears to have served several functions. It was previously thought that it was used only to represent the god Apollo, as attested by its depiction on a vase painting in the presence of supplicants. <span>This association with Apollo was supported by the description of the statue of the Pythian Apollo at Samos by Diodoros</span><span> as "Egyptian in style, with his arms hanging by his sides and his legs parted". However, not all kouroi are images of a deity; many have been discovered in cemeteries where they most likely served as commemorative tombstones of the deceased, also the type was used as a memorial for victors in the games (like trophies), kouroi were used as offerings to the gods, Pausanias describes the statue of </span>Arrhichion, an Olympic pankratiast, as in the kouros scheme),<span>and some kouroi have been found in sanctuaries other than that of Apollo.</span>

Please can someone give mea good defenition of Dominance?
polet [3.4K]

All graphic designers abide by a set of general, underlying principles as a basis for their designs. Dominance is one of those design principles. The principle of dominance states that all designs should have a single feature that stands out from the rest of the elements in the composition; all designs should have a focal point. Picture yourself going through life without any signs, maps, or role models to guide your way. You have no goals, no destinations, nothing to do. Wouldn’t you feel lost? And bored? Well, your eyes feel the same way when searching a composition for a focal point that doesn’t exist! Dominance provides a place for your eyes to settle in a composition. Sure, your eyes might wander around and explore other areas of a design, but the focal point is the starting point for that exploration.
