Classical Art: Greece And Rome

.

For me I believe that the most influencial of art history is the Classical Art, the Greeks and Romans.I think I'm being biased because I love Greece.But still I know what I like about it.Well  in this time the measurement has started,saying that they measure things and building they are making.It has this, the measurement of this side is equivalent to the measurement of this two sides something like that.And in this era they draw gods and goddesses but in human form they are making a perfect human out of it,having the right proportion by measuring it.The sculptures and painting  vases started here too!In this era they are focused in humans about it's perfection.Also on the arts in this era it's just about creating an art.Their arts here have message or have story.The amazing thing also about this era is it has four periods the Geometric,Archaic,The Classical, and The Hellenistic period.This just if you want it to be specific.

In Geometric period they had produced ceramic vessels and used them as mark for graves.So they can easily found each of it.This period was called Geometric period because of the repeated angular patterns on each grave marks and they called Geometric so that's how the period was name too.In Archaic period the making of sculptures has started before the Geometric period  end the artists started to paint people or human figures on those grave marks.That's why in this period mostly the arts are in human form and also the vase-painting they already inlcuded human there.One of the primary technique in this period is the black-figure vase-painting technique it somehow look rough and sketchy.In the Classical period or can be called "the gold age" is where the black-figure changed into red-figure.Where the background turns into black and the color of the skin of the humans are shown.In this period Bronze sculpture was another major art of Greece like the Bronze god.Hellenistic period is the time when the conquests of Alexander the Great started,so the artist became more likely violent, meaning their artwork looks violent based on Alexander the Great's conquest.It seems like that it's their basis.An example of this is the Great Altar of Zeus at Pergamum.In here also in their they are showing real movements of peopel it's like their showing how the story flow in their art.Their arts here are mostly incomplete body parts of people because of fighting.

Greeks arts and Romans art aren't quite different.It continued  the Hellenistic period.and show more of it and made it more in a level-up period.These two is more focused on humans and their structures of being perfect.And making a story of putting of history on the vases,walls building they had made.Showing off more realistic thing about it.And how human is, simple that this era is more on humans.This era has its period on how it evolved.Well I can say that in this era so much things happened and discover to add something on how you're going to create your art or express your feelings with art.They showed/taught us the sculptures,architechture and paintings not just drawings.
