Coyolxauhqui

This sculpture represents the goddess of the moon. This goddess it was for the mexicas and it was made in relief.

The figurative for this is non representative because theintention for the makers it wasn’t to make it real.

The plane of this art depends on the angle that you are stand, because the spot varies by the way you’re looking.

It has adepth of shadows because the way it’s done it’s when they use sharp instrument to remove material from the substance, so this way when it gives him the light we can see better the shadows made for theway it was made.

The shapes in this piece of art are circles representing perfection we can see them in the earrings, penacho, and in the feet, the biomorphic is making the shape of the goddess andsome other decorations, this are representing the living mater.

The hue for this are the red, yellow, and blue, the red it’s in almost all the pice representing the skin, the yellow it’s more like a brownish representing the background, and the blue is...
