No andriantopoieia would refer to the art of making the adriantes .. the vusts/statues and it is limited to that.

Difficulty grading This system is not letting me get in with the password it assigned for grading or anything else. You responded to the exact word I was looking for, though it does evoke a follow-up question. 'Andriantopoeia' appears to mean figure-work as well. Does 'andrias' ever refer to the build of a living person, such as, "She has an hourglass figure?"
