Greece Greece Baby
All right stop, lets travel back, now listen
Greece is here with some new innovations
900, lets start with Geometric
Check this vase, the Geometric Krater
Wait what’s that yo? – It’s a meander.
A pattern around the rim of the geometric vase
Humans are schematized, real life is their angle
We’re moving to a new age, this was just a sample
700, it’s time to orientalize
Mantiklos Apollo, dedicated to the sun god
Next, the Lady of Auxerre
It’s a statue of a goddess also known as a kore
If there is a smile, Yo, its Archaic
Take out some notes while we teach about the Kouros
Greece greece baby, greece greece baby
Greece greece baby, greece greece baby
550, now we’re in the Archaic
Check this out, it’s a man with a calf
Wait what’s that yo? It’s the Calf Bearer
There’s a cross ‘round the chest, it shows their connection
There’s also two kouros, New York and Anavysos
Anavysos is more natural and painted in encaustic
Whoa, we also have a kore
It’s the Peplos Kore, since it’s wearing a robe
Stop, it’s time for a break
480, We’re chugging to Severe
Check this statue, from the temple of Aphaia
Wait what’s that yo? I think he’s dying!
Its an arrow through his chest, why is he smiling
He’s the dying Warrior, now lets move on
Its time for kritios boy, and contrapposto
Wait, what is Contrapposto
Its the shifting of weight onto a single leg
Dang, then they rekt the persians
It boosted their ego, could be seen in their art
If they got beach bods, then they’re classical
450, we’re diving into a new age
Check this guy, it’s the riace warrior
What what’s that yo? a buff bronze dude
Its got natural motion floating in space
Diskobolos and Doryphoros
They’re both male athletes, and are emotionless
Zeus or Poseidon, Thunderbolt or Trident
Stop, guess what time it is! Break Time!
350, We’re on late classical
Peloponnesian war, they lost to the Spartans
Wait what’s that yo- It’s reality
Depicted in the art, putting down humanity
Aphrodite of Knidos, Goddess of Love
She’s completely in the nude, bathing with a jug
Hermes, and the infant dionysos
Sensuous languor and interacting subjects
Scraper, Apoxyomenos
His arm is boldly thrusted, forward in air
If you got a herakles, it’s weary
Exhausted by his efforts, he suffers from pain
250, the Hellenistic period
It all began, after Alex the Great
Wait who’s that yo? The Dying Gaul
His stares at the ground with a pained expression
Nike of Samothrace, interacts with the environment
Living, breathing, and intensely emotive
Aphrodite, it’s more overtly sexual
Her hand on the towel, teasing the spectator
Damn, the Barberini Faun
Open sexuality, intoxicated sleep
Next its the seated boxer
It has a defeated look, evoking compassion
If you haven’t smiled yo, look at Valerie
She deserves a six digit salary
