Ancient Greece project
Today in
class we finish the video on Philosophy finally after 3 classes of watching a 10
minuets. We also worked on our group project here is a paragraph from the
website we are using to complete our power point.
Greek Pottery from c. 1000 to c. 400 BCE provides not only
some of the most distinctive vase shapes from antiquity but also some of the
oldest and most diverse representations of the cultural beliefs and practices
of the ancient Greeks. Further, pottery, with its durability (even when broken) and lack of
appeal to treasure hunters, is one of the great archaeological survivors and
is, therefore, an important tool for archaeologists and historians in determining
the chronology of ancient Greece. Whatever their
artistic and historical value though, the vast majority of Greek vases, despite now being dusty museum pieces,
were actually meant for everyday use and, to paraphrase Arthur Lane, it is
perhaps worth remembering that standing on a stone pavement and drenched with
water, they would have once gleamed in the Mediterranean
sun.
