Document Summary
Name the 5 greek art periods, in chronological order: Early and high classical periods (5th century bce) No longer static- sense of movement implied even though the figure is at rest. Harmony of opposites- engaged leg and relaxed arm (asymmetrical) Introspective: pensive, dejected (the mind is now depicted) Very blockish (still part of a block) - the torso is still very cubic and contained. Hair is more stylized than the geometric era. Humanization of the gods - unheroic act of bathing, tenderness in expression, demure, pensive. Irregular proportions (hand compared to the waist) Evoke pity or feeling on behalf of the viewer. Archade- same as colonnade except of rows its rows of arches (typical of roman empire) Drapery is thick but not wet drapery concept. Aloof with her expression but has an s contra-postal pose. Late 5th century was marked by the devastating. Macedonians invade greece and defeat the united city states at the battle of chaeronea in 338.
