Greek+Art+and+Architecture

Greek art and architecture held more meaning to their beauty than its purpose. The art represented realistic, human forms and most significantly, things captured in motion. The only Greek paintings that have been recovered are all on pots. These are all paintings of Greek people in their every day to day life. Other Greek art like sculptures, were made in honor of Greek gods and goddesses like the famous sculpture of the goddess Nike, it does not just represent the goddesses herself but also gives a sense of power, movement, and grace all made in stone. Greek architecture such the Parthenon served a purpose more than just the obvious shelter. The architecture represented the Greek ideals of balance and order. For example the orderly columns were meant to show the stability of the building. All forms of Greek art and architecture proved that everything they made was built, painted, or created to last.
