A Sculptures Review
By Hayden Schreier
Hello I am an
artist from Ancient Rome. I
love my works of sculpting;
they are each a masterpiece
of perfect balance. Well,
most of the sculptures that
I create are from what I
see; sometimes my
colleagues and I will steal
Greek sculptures and
recreate them or just keep
them. When I sculpt, I
stress realism as if the
statue was alive. My
sculptures are flawless
just like the person or
item I am sculpting. I sell
my sculptures to many
families that portray their
ancestors who have passed.
These sculptures are made
to specifically honor their
memory. I take interest in
perfecting the busts on my
sculptures. If my artwork
is too difficult for me,
sometimes I sculpt from the
shoulders up to really show
precise detail. Even though
the people I sculpt might
have flaws and wrinkles I
just see them as artwork.
In my eyes perfect is what
my artwork work will look
like completed, even if the
person I’m drawing isn’t.
Some of my colleagues
specify work in columns.
Oh! I even remember when
they were asked by the
emperor to sculpt the
Trojan’s Columns, which
were built in Rome in 113
to celebrate his victory
over Dacia. It had
magnificent images in the
relief that showed scenes
from the Dacian battles
winding up the columns
about 100 feet.
