argument56
Collectors prize the ancient life-size clay statues of human figures made on Kali Island but have long wondered how the Kalinese artists were able to depict bodies with such realistic precision. Since archeologists have recently discovered molds of human heads and hands on Kali, we can now conclude that the ancient Kalinese artists used molds of actual bodies, not sculpting tools and techniques, to create these statues. This discovery explains why Kalinese miniature statues were abstract and entirely different in style: molds could only be used for life-size sculptures. It also explains why few ancient Kalinese sculpting tools have been found. In light of this development, collectors should expect the life-size sculptures to decrease in value and the miniatures to increase in value.
我同学认为结论是:
The author concludes that the ancient Kalinese(K) artists used molds of actual bodies, not sculpting tools and techniques to create status because archeologists have recently discovered molds of human heads and hands on Kali.
给出的是这样的攻击顺序:
First of all, the precondition of the conclusion that the discovery of molds of human heads and hands does not validate the assumption that the ancient Kalinese(K) artists used molds of actual bodies, not sculpting tools and techniques to create status.
Secondly, the author concludes that since molds could only be used for life-size sculptures Kalinese miniature statues were abstract and entirely different in style too hastily.
In the third place, based on the fact that few ancient Kalinese sculpting tools have been found the author infers that the ancient Kalinese(K) artists did not use sculpting tools and techniques to create status.
