Michelangelo's ''Moses'' Sculpture
Moses is depicted with horns on his head because of the change in translation for '' ray of light'' turned into ''horns''.
Rebirth!
Sculptures and buildings were built on the idea of mathematics. The rebirth of sculpting is now they have ways to use math and improve it. Instead of a simple numbe system we now have ways to make a building or piece of work symmetrical. Also, now they realize that the human bodies have porportions making it easier to display a human type sculpture to actually look like a human. They were beginning to become very smart in the area of mathmatics and the human body.
Today people use the concept of geometry to make a house. Which is the idea of shapes and sizes. We have mathematical equations and so many different ways to calculate numbers to use in architecture. Houses today are humongous and very symmetrical and also very different. We make houses from cultures, different shapes, even out of different materials. Same with the sculptures like in Washington D.C some of them are very high and some are made out of different types of materials. Even today the dome is used in a senate or court building or even in a monument.
