Ancient Greek sculpture began around 4000 years ago with simple white marble figures on the Greek islands. Over time, sculpture evolved from stiff, stylized works to highly naturalistic pieces that captured accurate proportions and movement in media like marble and bronze. Early Minoan and Mycenaean works were few, while Archaic sculptures from 700-500 BCE depicted gods and people in stiff poses. The Classical period from 480-336 BCE saw further realism and lifelike details. Finally, Hellenistic sculpture from 336-146 BCE was highly expressive and exaggerated emotions, showing the pinnacle of ancient Greek artistic achievement.
The document provides an overview of ancient Egyptian civilization and its history of architecture. It describes how early inhabitants settled along the fertile banks of the Nile River around 5000 BC. The annual flooding of the Nile provided rich soil for agriculture, allowing people to transition from hunter-gatherers to farmers. They began building permanent houses and villages. Kingdoms formed as some towns took control of surrounding areas. Major periods included the Old Kingdom, Middle Kingdom, and New Kingdom. Important structures included pyramids like the Pyramids of Giza and Khufu, as well as temples such as the Temple of Amon at Karnak.

The Giza pyramid complex is highlighted as a notable example that includes Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure's pyramids as well as the Great Sphinx.
This document provides an overview of ancient Egyptian art and history from the Predynastic period through the Middle Kingdom. It describes early wall paintings found at Hierakonpolis that depicted funerary scenes. It also discusses important artifacts like the Palette of King Narmer and the Step Pyramid of Djoser, as well as the development of pyramid building. During the Old Kingdom, the document outlines the construction of the Great Pyramids at Giza and complexes that included temples and statues. Sculptures from this period included royal statues and a couple statue of Menkaure. In the Middle Kingdom, rock cut tombs were carved into mountains for protection.
The document discusses Byzantine art and how it expressed the values of Byzantine culture. Byzantine art was very religious in nature and followed strict conventions for depicting figures like Jesus and Mary. Artworks used symbolic and abstract styles rather than realistic portrayals. The Hagia Sophia church in Constantinople was a major architectural feat and an important center of Byzantine culture until it was converted to a mosque after the Ottoman conquest in 1453.
Chapter Eight: Early Medieval and Romanesque ArchitectureDouglas Vail
The document provides an overview of early medieval and Romanesque architecture from the 8th to 12th centuries. It discusses the decline of Roman architecture after barbarian invasions and the rise of the Christian church. Under Charlemagne in the 9th century, masonry construction revived in buildings like his palace chapel in Aachen. In the following centuries, Romanesque architecture developed based on Roman forms with influences from other cultures. Major architectural developments included stone vaulting, pilgrimage churches along routes like St. James, and large abbeys like Cluny that influenced monastic design.

As Christianity became the official religion, churches incorporated Roman basilica and central plans, and mosaics and frescoes depicted Christ as triumphant. Early Jewish art, like the Dura Europos synagogue paintings, showed limited biblical narratives in stylized fashions unlike realistic Roman styles due to prohibitions on images.
