Unit 5: Greek art

Greek art is one of the most beautiful and oldest manifestation of human feelings in the world. The fact that the tragedies, mysteries and taboos from Greek society were expressed in each piece of art is hard to digest all at once. From politicians, gods, goddesses, to ordinary people, Greek art showed that everything in the human world derives from art, feelings and beliefs. Although many cultures from superpower civilizations had conquered, transmitted and influenced great countries, there is no other like the Greek. As simply as it is, the Greeks not only created their own politics, literature, language and traditions, but their own type of art. I find Greek art as complicated as a human being. Its existence is pure and innocent at first, but it turns complex with the pass of the time. Love, passion, ambition, sacrifice and death happens. Some people say that Greek busts and pottery portrait the mythology and leaders only. What ii think is that busts and pottery, among other artistic creations from that time, show what human life is like. Greek art and mythology are pure manifestations of human beings.
