I was really excited to learn more about Greece because I have done previous research on Greece and have enjoyed what I've read. This classical period tool place between 323-30 B.C. One thing that I did learn was that the climate was very drastic. It was either very hot or bitter cold....Brrrrrrrrrrr! We all know what cold weather feels like. The dry climate was perfect for preservation and creating lots of pottery. The Greek were and still are known for artwork on pottery and walls as well as using lots of marble in their designs. I have previously learned about the Classic Orders of Architecture (Doric, Ionic, Corinthian), but I learned about the systems of the columns and how they were made. I didn't realize how much work it would have been for the builders back then to create structure without columns.
The detail of all three columns really embrace the character that the Classical Greece Civilization portrays.
One of my favorite pictures of The Parthenon displaying those famous columns.
