How are modern and classical styles the same?

Question

I am doing a project for a humanities class and have to compare these two styles. Specifically in the arts in where I am looking.
Also I need to provide examples of the classical style and it's legacy in our culture.

I could you some links to web sites that might give me info.

Answer 1

I doubt I will be much help here, but Thomas Jefferson (he was alive during the classical era) designed the Capitol building, his home in Monticello, and the University of Virginia. These were replicas of Greek architecture, I believe, but very typical of the classical era. Classicists liked symmetry. I am assuming this might help you with the "Legacy in our culture" part of your project.

Answer 2

well not all styles are the same just the real hip ones and the old styles well,u can basically add your own styles to them,but,if you have a project on styles u must create a real nice style that u know or think people will love and buy.
