Big Ideas:
Victory, Divinity, Power, and War
How is it Juicy?
One possibility is to tell the students the symbolism the Nike figure had in ancient Greek cultural. Another idea I thought of would be to ask the students to tell her story. Why is she at that battle and granting victory? Who is she?
Questions
What are some ideas we can draw from this work?
Why is this figure so important?
Are there any ideas we can gain from this work?
Have we ever experienced victory or "Nike"?
Concepts
The power to overcome defeat.
Victory due to the help of others.
Divine intervention.
How can you connect the Nike logo to Nike the sculpture? Do you think students will know what she stands for ? What is it about the pose, like the photo you presented that gives us the idea of celebration and victory? What does jubilance look like visually? What myths or legends are attached to the Winged Victory sculpture?
