Greek Sculpture art

The Greeks learned to quarry stone and plan the execution of large-scale statues from the Egyptians, who had been working very hard stones for centuries. The pose of the kouros, a clear and simple formula, derives from Egyptian art and was used by Greek sculptors for more than a hundred years.

Archaic Greek Kouros As mentioned in the video from the series How Art Made the World, a critical moment in the history of Greek was the creation of monumental sculpture. This occurred around the year 600 BCE.

Harmony is more than notes that sound good together. Those notes were mathematically derived by Greeks to sound good together.

"Hammurabi, the king of righteousness, on whom Shamash has conferred the law, am I." "An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth." This phrase, along with the idea of written laws, goes back to ancient Mesopotamian culture that prospered long before the Bible was written or the civilizations of the Greeks or Romans flowered.

Physics: Books I to IV The Physics takes its title from the Greek word phusis, which translates more accurately as "the order of nature." The first two books of the Physics are Aristotle's general introduction to the study of nature.

Medical historians generally look to Hippocrates as the founder of medicine as a rational science. It was Hippocrates who finally freed medicine fromthe shackles of magic, superstition, and the supernatural.

Interesting example of how creativity can affect civilisations and cultures far removed from our own. In a time of American tragedy (the assassination of MLK Jr) Kennedy turns to Greek Tragedy to offer comfort and plead for peace in a time of potential uproar.

Did you ever wonder why male figures in ancient Greek art are almost always nude? You probably didn't. It's something that we all take for granted, but it really is a curious thing. This is a famous sculpture because it is one of the oldest free-standing sculptures of a human from Ancient Greece.
