^__^ (lol *rolling on floor*)
It's a special term used to describe a particular facial expression found on archaic sculptures dated back to 6th century BC. A smile like this: (gentle curling at corner of lips)
A Sounion sculpture found on Attic, where Anthens is located.
When the prof flashed this slide, I was instantly reminded of hu yuxuan. She has EXACTLY that kind of smile when she's scheming a thousand excuses/plans in her head.
There's one particular pottery painting I liked among all slides. By an artisit named Exekias, frieze on neck amphora, circa 545 B.C.
The theme is 'the suicide of Ajax', a hero in the Trojan war. It's rare to spot a painting which put more emphasis on the 'atmosphere' than the figure itself. Red clay gives a twilight feel and hints at the character's loneliness.
It's one thing to like potteries and quite another to collect them. I can't imagine a house clustered with big jars and kraters. That's an absolute nightmare.
The guy who lived next door looked scary. Last time he stopped in the hallway and asked me if I had a lighter for cigarretes and it's as if he MUST have that cigarette immediately or else death would fall upon him. And the next time I spotted him walking and panting heavily at the same time. Was he on drugs? O_O
