ROMAN ART
ART LESSON 3
GREEK ART
● The ancient Greeks believed in living the perfect
life.
● They believed that different gods controlled
different aspects of every person's destiny on earth.
● As a result, many buildings and works of art
were created to please the different gods.
Greek Vase Painting
● Knowledge of Greek painting comes from
painting on vases.
● Vase painting reflects the conflict of the artist
between stylized formality and natural appearances.
● It also shows the application of laws of unity
and proportional relationship of design.
● Greek vase painting has three styles the black-
figured, the red-figured, and white background
styles.
Greek Sculpture
● Greece is blessed by land dominated by stone
which are usable for sculpture. Greek sculptors
portrayed figures of gods, goddesses, and
human beings.
The Archaic Period
● During this period, sculptors
created large, rigid, free-
standing figures very similar to
Egyptian sculpture.

● Three types of figures


prevailed--the standing kouros
(male nude figure), the
standing kore (clothed female
figure), and the Kroisos kouros
Peplos kore seated woman.
The Classical Period
● This was the "Golden Age of
Greece. The Greek sculptors were
interested with the human form
moving in space.
● Anatomical perfection was
important.
● Thus, ideal proportion of the

human form was given emphasis.


During this period, the famous
Greek sculptors were Phidias,
Praxiteles, Lysippus, and Myron.
Hellenistic Period
● Aesthetic beauty was less
important to the sculptors of this
period.
● The sculpture became more

naturalistic. Sculptors were


interested in showing emotion on
the face and ideal proportions of
the classical period.
Greek Architecture
● One of the Greeks' greatest contributions was in
architecture.
● Greek life was dominated by religion so it is not surprising
that the temples of ancient Greece were the biggest and
most beautiful.
● An example of this would be the Parthenon located on the
acropolis in Athens, Greece.
● This temple was dedicated to Athena, the goddess of
wisdom and patron goddess of Athens. Its principal
architects were Iktinos and Kallikrates.
DORIC
IONIC
CORINTHIAN
ROMAN ART
● Roman art is the style of artistic expression that
flourished in Rome from about 200 BCE to fourth
century AD. The Romans greatly admired the Greek
culture. Thus, Greek influence was very evident in
Roman art.
PANTHEON
COLOSSEUM
Roman Triumphal Arches

● Roman Triumphal Arches were constructed across


the Roman Empire. These were used by the
Romans to celebrate a successful military
campaign.
Arch of Constantine
Aqueduct
● A series of round arches were
also used to construct bridges
and aqueducts.
● An aqueduct is a network of

channel used by the Romans to


bring water down out of the
mountains to be used in the
city.
● Gravitational flow and the use

of arches help make the


aqueduct system work.
