The Evolution of Art Forms
The first art form to feature crimson people and temples was archaic art. The artists painted the backgrounds black due to the period's tremendous change and progress. For clarity, more figure details were rendered in red clay (Erskine, 2009). They also had vases, just like the Greek warriors who rode in war chariots and built the majority of the temples. Geometric Krater, 740 BCE, 2-14, is an illustration of archaic art. It provided opportunities for other forms of art to advance.
The Shift in Classical Eras
With sculptures shifting from heroic tones to natural types, classical eras saw a change in art from the first period. The body and emotions were displayed more. The type of art focused more on realities than imaginations. Most of the art had a body with all the weight in the legs. Moreover, some presented the human form of art with columns in their bodies Erskine, 2009). An example is a Corinthian order used majorly by the Catholics. However, a more realistic model made by the Athens is Praxiteles from the year 350-340 BCE number 2-47. It was an inspiration to several artists who wanted to find more work from art.
The Beauty of Hellenistic Art
The Hellenistic art was closer to human life than the ancient two sculptures. An example of Hellenistic Sculpture made by Aphrodite, 150-125 BCE, and 2-56 is an example of such art and had more elegance and flow to the human understanding than the earlier artworks and represented religion. Their definition of human movement was more common and real (Erskine, 2009). It was explaining concepts in a more vivid way than the first ones. Most people who identified this art loved its appearance as a way of understanding their roles to the human nature.
