GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Italian for "placed opposite," contrapposto is a way of representing the body in a fluid, more relaxed manner by balancing a standing figure around an invisible vertical axis. The person's weight is placed on one foot so the body naturally twists. It was a device used by classical sculptors to emphasize the perfection of the human body and was revived in the Renaissance.
NOTES
Revised in January 2016 after having marked the note #complete in September 2015.
Adding "draft" tag back to note, Dec 19, 2016, as part of the revised harvest/route procedure. This note will be pulled into GDrive and manually moved to Queta's folders for final review. Update- January 18, 2017- Adding #routed tag so that I can easily keep track of this note in Evernote to confirm that it is eventually pushed into GDrive. As of January 18, 2017 the content is in Brain but not in GDrive so I am unable to finish revisions and mark it complete in Evernote or move the GDoc to Queta's folder.
Confirmed note updated in GDrive. Tagged completed and moved GDoc to Queta folder. (1/24/2017)
