This week we got the chance to explore the Greek art and this was very informative to me. The Greek art and architecture was highly idealistic and I found that the Greek architecture basically laid the foundations for the modern day architecture as well. It is astonishing to see that the Greek architects mastered the art of such architectural skills in those days without any technological help. The white marble statues and monumental buildings are examples of the classic artistic values of the Greek artists along with their strong sense of aesthetics because I have always found the Greek art to be aesthetically pleasing and the flawless marble structure and idealistic shapes are behind it.
