Periods and Styles Pottery is one of the oldest surviving art forms from Ancient Greece. Works and fragments survive from the 2nd millennium BC to the end of the 1st century BC. Greek pottery was traded throughout the Mediterranean world and beyond.

Periods and Styles Minoan & Mycenaean Minoan & Mycenaean pottery is the oldest that we know of. It was exuberantly decorated. It tends have as a trait “horror vacui” or fear of leaving open space.

Periods and Styles Geometric The next style to pervade exhibits a different sensibility. From the end of the 2nd millennium the geometric style dominates. Regular geometric patterns and shapes, not animal forms, are pervasive.

Periods and Styles Orientalizing Contact with Asia brought new innovation in design. The next stage is therefore known as the orientalizing period. Plants and animals reappear in the bands of design.

Periods and Styles Archaic The Archaic style existed from around 700 to 480 BC. Mythology and life became important subjects. Some artists signed their work.

Periods and Styles Black-Figure The Black-figure style really did not dominate until the 6th century BC. Artists painted black images silhouetted against the natural red clay background. Details were inserted by etching the black figures. White or purple paint could then be added.

Periods and Styles Red-Figure The red-figure style appeared between BC. It was achieved by simply reversing the manner of black figure painting. The red figures are reserved and the background is painted. This is more difficult but it allowed the design to be seen better at a distance and it leaves the contour of the pot more visible.
