1. Greek Art Geometric, Transitional, Classical, and Hellenistic

2. There are Six Major Styles Geometric (900-700 B.C.) Oriental (700-600 B.C.) Archaic (600-480 B.C.) Transitional (480-450 B.C.) Classical (460-320 B.C.) Hellenistic (320-30 B.C.)

3. Geometric Style So, why would this be called the Geometric Style?

4. What is this about?

5. Man and Centaur How does this sculpture also seem to be geometric? What is this half-man, half-animal called? What is their relationship? Friendly or unfriendly?

6. Oriental Time Period At this time, Greece is being influence by art from Greece and the Mediterranean. They moved away from the highly geometric shapes and started to use more natural, organic shapes. They were influenced by the East, but this art still remains truly their own. Watch as Greek vase painting gets more and more ornate and sophisticated.

7. Olpe from Corinth How does it still have geometric elements? How has it evolved?

8. Another Corinthian Olpe The shapes in the Orientalizing period are much more sophisticated. The lines are more true to form and less blocky. Black-figure decoration. Artists would take slip and paint it on. Then they would scratch out the details. Background decorations are still fairly simplified geometric shapes. Not too ornate yet.

9. Archaic Period What does Archaic mean? Archaic compared to what?

10. Temple of Hera I Paestum, Italy What order is this?

11. Architectural Sculpture Artists would sculpt and then paint to decorate temples. What is that triangle called again?

12. Temple of Artemis, Korkyra Hair and features are stylized. Emphasis on athleticism (bulging calves and biceps.) Rounded Archaic smile and bulging eyes. Very high relief. Medusa

13. Siphnian Treasury Built at the Sanctuary of Apollo at Delphi. Prominent are the caryatids, female sculptures that take the place of columns. It is in antis. Not only sculpture in pediment, but also along the frieze.

14. Dying Warrior Where would this fit in the architecture?

15. Free- Standing Sculpture Kouros and Kore Describe the elements and Principles you see in these sculptures.

16. Compar e and Contrast Greek Kouros to Egyptian Menkaure KroisosMenkaure

17. Calf-Bearer Doesn’t follow the typical free-standing statue. Probably represents a priest or worshiper carrying an animal intended for sacrifice on an alater. Has the Archaic smile, stylized hair, wide- open eyes.

18. Peplos Kore Almost all kouros are nude. But almost all kore are clothed. Most of these figures were lined on walkways leading up to the temple. Could possibly represent priestesses or goddesses. This one was found on the Acropolis in Athens. Has traces of encaustic. Peplos refers to her draped rectangle of cloth.
