Unformatted sample text from the term paper:
over a period of seven hundred years. The Greek culture was anthropocentric, which meant that the human being was all important. For these people the artistic process was as
important as the end result. The human form was considered beautiful, balanced and harmonious. When gods were sculpted or painted, they were represented in
this perfect human form. The nude figure as an art form, developed in Greece, and was seen as the ultimate perfection of man and woman.
The principles of design that inspired all forms of Greek Art and Architecture were simplicity, clarity, rhythm, unity and harmony. The beauty and emotional appeal of an
object, or its aesthetics, was essential, or at the core of Greek thinking. As Plato said, "If there are arts, there is a standard of measure, and if there
is a standard of measure, there are arts; but if either is wanting, there is neither" (Cole 5).
