I am a student of Classical Archaeology, my name is Arianna and I would like to share with you my passion for the ancient greek art, through the most important discoveries made by the Greek archaeologists in the last years.

Ancient Greek art is a form of visual arts that flourished in Ancient Greece from the 6th century BCE to the 5th century CE, excluding the Archaic period. Greek art reached a high level in the 5th century BCE, and has had a profound impact on Western art and culture ever since. In its years of peak, works of ancient Greek art drew their inspiration from classical Greek literature, especially Homer (see epic poetry), and later from classical mythology (see classical mythology).

Ancient Greek pottery was painted black and red with pictures of animals or people. The most popular shapes were: the jug (similar to the canteen), the cup (often with animals or warriors on them) and the amphora (a large container used in shipping wine). The Greeks also invented two-handled cups called kylixes. The Greeks also made statues out of bronze or marble; these were usually of gods or goddesses. The statues were usually painted as well. Ancient Greek architecture was divided into three parts: the Doric order, the Ionic order, and the Corinthian order.

Different styles of art evolved at different times and places. Early work seems to have been influenced by Egyptian painting and sculpture. Later work is often inspired by Persian painting and is usually more

Ancient Greek art was the art made by the ancient Greeks from the 7th century BCE to the emergence of Hellenistic art during the 3rd century BCE. Ancient Greek art is mostly known today through Greek pottery and coins, and a number of statues.

A very important part of ancient Greek art was Daedalus, who created works such as the Labyrinth for King Minos and Ariadne’s thread. His work inspired others, most notably Hephaestus in his creation of new technology.

Another important example is Phidias, considered to be the greatest ancient Greek sculptor and creator of some of the most famous sculptures in antiquity. Among his works are the chryselephantine statue of Athena in the Parthenon and the statue of Zeus at Olympia. Sculpturing was usually reserved for grand projects such as statues that would be placed inside temples, or funerary monuments.

Clay pottery was another popular form, with some fine examples being preserved at Delphi and Tiryns. Major potters include Zeuxis, Exekias, Euphronios and Euthymides; these vases were used for drinking and other domestic purposes, but also had a role in funerary practices (it has been suggested that they

The art of Ancient Greece is the art produced in the Greek-speaking world from about 1400 BC to about 500 AD. This roughly corresponds to what is known as the Archaic, Classical, and Hellenistic periods, and (sometimes) to the Roman period. The word “vase” is used for broader types of vessels, as well.

Greek pottery was painted with vivid colours; early on (Geometric period), this began with a ground that was sometimes gilded, but gradually painting became more common. In fact, it is likely that the human body was painted before it was sculpted because of weaving technology: cloth can be stretched to a more limited extent than clay figures are.

In the beginning of Greek pottery there were many geometric designs such as squares and triangles, but by around 650 BC more complicated decoration had emerged.

In ancient Greece art was not seen as a pursuit that stood alone, but rather one that was connected with everyday life. And always at least part of its purpose was functional in nature.

Artists and craftsmen were held in high regard; they could come from all social classes, unlike prostitutes and slaves. Artisans who specialized in handiwork were divided into guilds according to their townships or villages. Pit

principle of design to the painting of vases and walls, sculpture, and architecture. Some of the works produced during this period are still in existence and have been preserved through the centuries, while others only survive in written descriptions or drawings.

Precursors of Greek art were created by many ancient cultures in Mesopotamia, Egypt, Syria and Asia Minor. During the Greek Dark Ages, from 1200 BC until 800 BC, there is no evidence of painting or sculpture. The first artistic period that we know about is the Geometric Period between 800 BC and 700 BC; it was probably a time when artists experimented with form and style. 

A major change occurred around 600 BC when Greece emerged from its Dark Age into the so-called Archaic Period. It was characterized by a new interest in human beings and their activities. This was reflected in an increase in production of pottery figurines, wall paintings and sculptures in stone. Sculptures included larger figures such as heroes, gods and goddesses but also smaller ones such as animals, birds and insects.”
