Which of the following describes a similarity between these artworks by Early Renaissance sculptor Donatello and High Renaissance sculptor Michelangelo? They have a contrapposto pose seen in Classical Greek and Roman sculpture.

They show the biblical youth David the moment after he kills his enemy Goliath.

They have precise proportion without idealized forms and features.

They impress viewers with a sense of power and might because they are larger than life.

They have a contrapposto pose seen in Classical Greek and Roman sculpture.

Explanation:

Contrapposto is the Italian term for the pose named “counterpoise”. This pose presents a person that stands up so that most of their weight is balanced on one leg, with others just for support. The shoulders and collarbone are rotated slightly on one side (going “down” on the side of the weight), while the hips and pelvis are rotated on another side in the counter direction.

We see both Donatello and Michelangelo have used this pose in their sculptures. Examples of Dontallo’s usage are evident in his statues of David (both statues) and St George. Michelangelo’s statues done in counterpoise are, for example, Bacchus and David.

sorry. my computer broke down and i had about 3 doctor's appointments. i'm just catching up now after reinstalling a router.

i think you best answer to this is d. some film directors were very picky about roles and lighting and and which side of the face the camera should catch. they were also picky about sound and background noise and chatter and music and all sorts of what we would consider trivial things. a stage director has to have all this ironed out before the curtain goes up. if he doesn't he better do it soon. if he doesn't notice, critics soon will, and they are not a very nice bunch.

e: both have the power to ask for rewrites. theater directors are always yammering about act 2.

c is true. both can ask for any number of things during rehearsals. the reason i wouldn't pick c is because a film director can make changes anytime during shooting, including when he thinks they ought to be done shooting.

b i didn't know what blocking was and i can't find a good description. if you have one and think b is true, go for it.

a a film director quite frequency chooses the leading lady or man. he may not have the final word, but he chooses. sometimes a theater director has no choice. a is generally not true.
