Description
An account of the resource
I have chosen to analyze two sculptures of women during the Hellenistic period. The first sculpture is made from terracotta and the women is dressed in a himation (cloak) and the other sculpture is a woman dressed in a himation made out of bronze. Both of these sculptures can help show historians what the everyday life was during the Hellenistic period because if two sculptures share a feature there is a good chance that was common for women living in that society. By analyzing these two sculptures I hope to draw my own conclusions about the average day of a women during the Hellenistic period. Both of these women were draped in himation which seemed to be what most of the women in this time period wore. These cloaks that were worn seemed to cover most of the women possibly meaning that they use modesty in their fashion. Although only one sculpture had a women dancing in it I'm predicting that dancing was a profession that women were allowed to participate in. Both of these sculptures were carved with lots a detail possibly meaning that their beauty was desired by society. For example, the women in the terracotta sculpture had her hair neatly tucked up which could mean that she is putting an effort into empress society with her looks

Jug
Description
An account of the resource
"Medium: Terracotta
Dimensions: H. 7 1/2 in. (19.1 cm)"
I have chosen a jug with an African carrying two spears, and a pendant with the earliest image of an African. These two items are related because they both show an African person. This is important because it shows how the creators (the Greeks), perceived Africans (who were called Ethiopians back then). The Greeks had very high opinions regarding the Ethiopians and this can be seen in their art work. The amount of detail put into the face on the pendant demonstrates that the artist wanted to include every little thing and portray his/her feelings about Ethiopians; the features of the face are all soft and not at all harsh, and the face is smiling. This could demonstrate that the artist saw Ethiopians as happy and/or kind people. The figure on the jug shows that the creator also thought highly of the Ethiopians because the figure is carrying two spears, which could symbolize the power and strength of the African people. Whether or not they had such power and/or strength, the Greeks still perceived them as having both. From this lesson, I would like to learn if the Ethiopians thought as highly of the Greeks as they did of them.

Terracotta jug with a pitcher-spout
Subject
The topic of the resource
Hellenistic Sculpture
Description
An account of the resource
These types of jugs typically have a decorative figure on top of the jug which would have helped identify a more specific date of the jug, but for unknown purposes this jug does not have a figurine.
Medium :Terracotta
Dimensions: h. 9 1/2 in. (24.1 cm)
Classification: Vases
Although there could be a variety of reasons as to why this jug does not have the decorative figure (such as it being dropped or some other form of accident), it is possible that this jug never was created with an ornate figurine. If this reasoning is true, it might actually indicate that the owner of this jug may come from a lower level of wealth because they did not have the resources to buy a jug with an ornate figurine. On the other side, it may also be that the owner saw no use in the figurine and simply pursued a jug for its functionality versus its aesthetic. Overall, what this artifact does indicate is that because it was common for citizens to have ornate figures on their day-to-day objects, it is strange that such a figure does not appear on this object.

An account of the resource
"The small cups were used to hold votive offerings such as poppy seeds, wheat or barley."
"Medium: Terracotta
Dimensions: H. 6 3/8 in. (16.2 cm)
Classification: Vases" as described from the metropolitan museum of art.
The vase is made of terracotta, and terracotta is a cheap material to use in art. As a result, this shows that this vase probably belonged to someone in the middle-class or in poverty. This vase was used as a votive offering for religious purposes. This suggests that even though people in poverty were scarce of resources, they still went out of there way to sacrifice their resources in order to give praise and honor to their religion. This also indicates that religion was important to people in poverty.

The pieces of ancient art I decided to choose are terracotta jars, crafted by Greek painters. Painted on to the jars are Ethiopian people who were observed and painted in 530-500 B.C. These pieces of art give us great insight to what it was like to be alive in the Archaic period. On one of the jars, we see three Ethiopian people wearing large cloak-like garb. On the other jar two men are dressed in warrior garb with that being a helmet and a loincloth, while the woman depicted is wearing cloak-garb, similar to the subjects painted on the other jar. This shows the type of clothing worn by natives of the time that must have fit their climate and culture. On the other side of the jar, are three warriors holding weapons, the soldiers painted here were battling in the Trojan war. On the other jar we see dead warriors slain during the Trojan war, being carried off the battlefield. This shows that there was constant conflict, and the Ethiopian people were often subjected to danger, allowing for a not so subtle life. Also this shows that preserving the dead mattered in their culture.

The two objects I chose was between the Archaic and Hellenistic period. I can by looking at the two objects the art style is different. The jar from the Archaic period the people is color in black and the background is brown. As for the bowl in the Hellenistic period its reverse where the people are left in brown and white while the background is cover in black. However, both objects show a great deal in heroic character or someone famous. From looking at the two objects it’s tells me that people during that time idolize strong and heroic people, because they displace warrior carrying weapons. I can see why artists choose to do that kind of drawing on the jar because, they were constantly in war with other region and people. Show the artist portrait that to inspired younger kids to be brave and defend their country and its people. I can only guess that the potteries were belonging to high class society because of the of the design and the detail that on it. From looking at all the art we were doing for class I want to learn more about the process the artist used to created those piece of art and does that transfer to the architecture of the monument they build.

This jug demonstrates the poverty during the Hellenistic period because of its simplicity and dullness. There is nothing drawn on the jug and the material is cheap. This demonstrates poverty because other jugs/vases from the time period are all decorated and still look fancy, despite the fact that they are thousands of years old already. This shows the different classes in their society, even though it is just a jug; higher classes had fancy jugs while lower classes had plain, simple jugs.

This sculpture was formed out of terracotta which is not an expensive product in art. This means that whomever created this product was lower socioeconomic to middle socioeconomic class. In addition, this sculpture depicts a girl playing with a ball. From this sculpture, this girl seems to be in poverty through her clothing and lack of jewelry. Also, I like this sculpture because of its simplicity that even when an individual is in poverty, the individual can still be happy with whatever the individual has.

Ancient Hellenistic Period Art
Description
An account of the resource
Although Mauryan Period art features women, Hellenistic art features women in a more everyday sense though their depiction of clothing, physical appearance, and position of body in their sculptures. Both pieces I chose to analyze were sculptures made of Terracotta and featured two standing women. One being a seemingly younger girl and one being a woman. By comparing and contrasting the physical characteristics of these two females, I hope to draw conclusions about everyday life of a woman in the Hellenistic Period. Both females are wrapped in “himation (cloaks)” and they are both wrapped tightly around their body. This is believed to be used for a fashion statement and it resembles everyday clothing of women and girls. Unlike most Mauryan pieces, which feature deities, you see both women standing naturally in these sculptures. The young girl is a little hunched in a child-like way and the light smile hints at a child nature. According to Metropolitan Museum of Art, children were no longer represented as miniature adults but rather were given childlike proportions and features in the Hellenistic time period. This shows us a more “real” sense of humanity during that time period. Even in the sculpture of the woman, we see drapes of cloth as clothing rather than them being naked. This shows a more everyday approach to artwork. The Metropolitan Museum also states that some Hellenistic art pieces featured “women...are seated or playing games”. This certainly speaks towards the portrayal of everyday life. I wish to further analyze the “why” to certain clothing pieces, accessories, and the functions of both of those used in tandem. I also wish to relearn the three major parts of a thesis statement.
