Q.
Answer
Math and geometry were at the forefront of developing and that was what was on their minds (actually the Chinese were ahead a couple of centuries before). They were trying to understand the universe by forms and geometry, and applied it to architecture. Art, the statemements of who the people said they were and what they stood for, was part of that architecture. Architecture is where all the energy and collective money and efforts went -- something like our Movie Industry, or National Institutes of Health or NASA. The best and brightest minds and talent went to making living spaces, monuments and government buildings. The general public was not literate, but they could see the grandeur in a building or a sculpture and walk away with a sense of awe,
I was amazed by the beauty and sophistication of ancient Asian archetecture and giant sculptures in SE Asia. The roofs are works of art. At a government palace in Thailand, the gardeners had t-squares and calipers to measure how to clip the shrubs outside. Every inch of the roof, porch, and portico was decorated in gold or some beautiful design. These structures really produced a feeling of awe in me and others who walked through them.
The modernist approach is to throw out the human elements and just be 'functional'. Form defines function was the mantra just after the Art Deco period when buildings started being ugly boxes.

Has anyone attended the Academy of Health and Beauty in Orlando, FL?

I recently came across their site because I am interested in an affordable cosmetology school. Their tuition was $10,000 LESS than most schools in the area. I was wondering if anyone has an experiences or reviews of the school. Thanks!
Answer
The name of the school sounds like one of those private overpriced for-profit beauty/tech schools. Please consider the more affordable county vo-tech school (or community college) as long as the program is accredited within the industry. It can take the graduate a couple of years to 'get a book' of regular customers before possibly making decent money.
