Greek Sculpture Overview
• 1. During the Geometric Period of Greek Art, the art of storytelling began to re-emerge
• 2. During the Archaic Period, the form of ceramic vessels indicated their intended use
• 3. Different orders of columns were utilized more during specific periods of Greek Art History (Doric is the oldest order, followed by Ionic, and then by Corinthian)

Assignment Option 1
• Option 1: Use clay to tell a story of your choosing (in honor of the re-emergence of story-telling in the Geometric Period)– Consider how to tell your story using imagery
rather than words– Consider whether your sculpture itself will tell the
story, or if you will paint the story in images on the finished ceramic piece

Assignment Option 2• Option 2: In honor of the different functional vessels that were
created during the Archaic Period, design a vessel that has a form that reflects its function– Whatever the vessel is intended to do (hold water, hold your
toothbrush, hold your cereal…), the design of the actual vessel should be relevant to its function
– This can also be metaphorical…just because you design a bowl to hold your cereal doesn’t mean it actually has to be able to hold it (i.e., if you build a bowl for your cheerios out of cheerio-shaped rings, the milk would fall through the holes, but you would be communicating that your bowl is meant for your cheerios, whether in reality or in honor of)
– Not all vessels are actually intended to be used…pottery is historically known as both a functional AND metaphorical offering of food or drink

Assignment Option 3• Option 3: Design a new order of column and be able to
justify your design:– What purpose does this new aesthetic serve?– Is it more functional than aesthetic? More aesthetic than
functional? – You can decide whether this should have debuted in Ancient
Greece (and if so, when exactly?), or in present times!– You can choose to:
• Actually construct a miniature model of a structure that uses your new order of column
• Create a relief carving of a detail of the column capital• Create a relief carving of part of the façade of your structure

Doric Order: Heavy SimplicityThe oldest, simplest, most massive order (appears sturdy)
Beginning in the 7th Century BCE
Columns placed close together and often without bases
Shafts are sculpted with concave curves called “Flutes”
Capitals are plain with a rounded section at the bottom,called the “Echinus” and a square at the top called the“Abacus”
Entablature has distinctive frieze decorated with verticalchannels or “Triglyphs”
In between the Triglyphs are spaces called “Metopes”which are commonly sculpted with figures and decoration
“Regula” = small band that separates the frieze from the columncapitals
