Archaic & Classical Greek Sculpture
This section for GR only

This course is a chronological survey of Greek sculpture in the Archaic and Classical periods, ca.
650-330 B.C. Topics include the origins and techniques of Greek sculpture, including inspirations
from the Aegean Bronze Age, Egypt, and the Near East; free-standing, relief, and architectural
sculpture in religious, funerary, and public contexts; lost "masterpieces" of ancient Greek art and
the problems involved in using Roman copies to reconstruct the art history and individual styles of
Greek sculptors. Special attention will be given to the purpose, setting, and function of Greek
sculpture as a form of art, its relation to other arts, and its place in archaeological research.

RECOMMENDED: CLAS C413 or FINA A413 (Art & Archaeology of Greece) or at least one
