Art and Architecture

Chapter five: Art of Ancient Greece. Begin with a brief general statement identifying some major aspects of Ancient Greece. Then from the Archaic, classical and Hellenistic Periods of Greek Art carefully choose one work from each that you determine best exemplifies that period. Describe relationships between the formal and expressive qualities of the selected works and tell how these visual qualities capture and express the particular character of the time they were created.

Core considerations with reference to context of this study imply that how the buildings are experienced by and further shape the lives of their varied occupants; urban, rural, suburban as well as nomadic and the homeless. These are increasingly and substantially important subjects of consideration, which shall enable us to define from the vantage of psychological, phenomenological and other viewpoints, in the light of vernacular architectures and magnanimous structures .

For example, when walking towards the artwork you recognize your figure moving in its direction although the form of it may be somewhat imprecise. Another way that the viewer's attention is directed by the artist through movement is the spherical shape of the glove which forces the viewer not to stand in one place ...
