THE BODY IS BEAUTIFUL EXPLORING HARMONY, UNITY AND BALANCE

 Some would argue that Western civilization began in Ancient Greece  In the Golden age of Greece ( BC) there was an explosion of creativity resulting in excellence in : art, drama, poetry, law, history, architecture, philosophy and mathematics  Greek philosopher Protagoras said “Man is the measure of all things”—creating a society of intellectual and artistic risk takers

 The Greeks invented the nude in art  The ideal proportions of their sculptures represented the perfection of both body (athletic perfection) and mind (intellectual debate)—representing the Greek’s passion for harmony of human behaviour: passion and reason

 Low relief (carved from a slab of stone or marble) and attached to a wall  Subtractive carving method (to take away)  Decorated around the top (the frieze) of the Parthenon  Shows a parade of horsemen

 Greek artists during the Archaic (earliest time in Greek history) concentrated on carving large, freestanding sculptures called KOUROS ( male youth) or KORE (maiden female)  Stiff and straight—very similar to Egyptian sculptures

 Left foot always slightly forward  Both feet are flat to the ground— impossible!  Symmetrically balanced except for the foot  He represents an athlete—1 st nudes  Maidens always clothed  Faces: bulging eyes, square chin, archaic smile

 Peak of Greek art—called the Golden Age  With each new generation of artists they became more bold and skillful. They abandoned stiff figures and made the figures appear to move into space  Showed figures in contrapposto (S Curve) where the weight of the body is balanced on one leg while the other leg is relaxed—very human pose

 He is in a relaxed S curve pose-- contropposto  Natural muscular  Applied perfect proportion— the idea of human beauty Polyclitus, Doryphorous, 440 BC

 A figure in action  Muscular— representing Greek athlete (Olympic games)  Considered negative space  Balance of triangles

 More melodramatic artwork than classical  Sculptures were confident and dramatic—often violent stories told  The figures writhed and twisted and their faces were often in pain and agony  Beauty was less important than emotion and passion  Pathos—the ability to evoke an emotion in the viewer—invented by the Greeks

 The theatrical expression of the Priest of Troy’s face, and of his sons’, as he goes to his fate for betraying the Gods  His sons try to hold on to him

 Wet clinging drapery  High detail in clothing and wings  Goddess of victory (in honour of a won naval battle)- supposed to look like on the prow of a ship  Balance of her legs and twist of her body give her movement in space
