Art 100 Aegean Art and Ancient Greek
Aegean Art was used as a big part of information about the Aegean people because there was not much left. They made objects of terra cotta which is an orange brown low fired clay, with stylized designs, and painted before firing. The Cycladic Art had female figures where the cycladic marbles looked more like modern eyes. Dressed stone was another form of art which was used as a building material. During the Old Palace Period, the minion builders focused more on special landscape features. The minoan sculptures were mostly of small, fine works in woods, ivory, metals, and stones. Minoans carved rhytons from steatite. Rhytons were used for pouring liquids during sacred ceremonies. They covered the walls of palace rooms with views of nature, and scenes of human activity. They built stonehenge which is was a post and lintel construction with a relieving arch.
Ancient Greece Art made ceramic decorations One of these decorations was the centaur piece, which was a use of geometric forms in painted decoration abstract designs with a mixture of water and clay. Metal sculptures made many figurines of wood, ivory, clay, and cast bronze. The small ceramic model of the temple had a door at the end protected by a porch that was supported on two sturdy post. The roofs were shaped of triangular areas. The orientalizing period changed its style. An example was the black figure pottery. It was decorated with darks shapes of lines, and composite creatures on a background. Clay was also mixed with metallic color pigments. Stone and marble replaced the mud brick and wood construction on Greek temples. Hera I is one of the temples which has a large rectangular stone post and lintel structure. They developed the freestanding culture which was more natural and had more lifelike qualities. They rested on the left leg, and the right knee bends slightly at the knees. Mosaics were used to decorate their homes made from tesserae.
