Title A name given to the resource Hellenistic Terracotta Statues Subject The topic of the resource Ancient Greek Art Description An account of the resource When I first saw the two images I thought they looked extremely similar. Both the girl and woman appear to be in the same pose, facing to their right side and in the similar robe style clothing. At first I believe they were both women but reading into their descriptions, one is woman and another a girl. The woman is considered to be found in a private dwelling for religious purposes in a shrine. Often sculptures like this were in the same pose with grace-like faces that would bring liveliness. Then the girl is actually represented as child kind of. By then they were presenting kids as kids and not miniature adults, however you can still see she appears to be dressed like a woman. Both sculptures are from the origins of Athens where they originate from. If someone was to ask me why these matter, I would say because it's an early form of art that led the way for future art. You can see other sculptures with naked bodies which now a days is paintings or photographs of naked bodies. It's matters because it's true pure art.

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.

Title A name given to the resource Chlorite pendant in the form of the head of an African (known as Ethiopian) Subject The topic of the resource Pendant Description An account of the resource "Medium: Chlorite Dimensions: Overall: 3/16 x 1 x 3/4 in. (0.5 x 2.5 x 1.9 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.

Description An account of the resource The two terracotta statues show a woman and a young girl. They both have very similar appearances. They both have what appears to be modest clothing. Their clothing covers most of their bodies. They also have similar hair styles. Their hair is either short or styled up and away from their faces. It is hard to say if this is how they dressed for their everyday activities or if this is how they dressed for special occasions. These statues also show how similar design styles for statues were at the time. I would like to learn more about terracotta as an art form. For example, was terracotta mostly used for things like statues or for vases. or was it a popular in creating art or was it a less popular than other methods?

The clothes offer the most detail but also have a big discrepancy as people that would have a statue main would be wearing their best while an artists adaptation of a person can be anything he or she wants. The two female seeming to be wearing similar clothing which is interesting as the terracotta statue is described as a child by THE MET so she would be older or wealthy to be wearing the same thing as women statue. The hair styles are similar which tells us that it was a popular way for women to style their hair at the time. Both statues are made out of terracotta, this indicated that it was easy to find/make, a cheap material and popularly used so these statues are likely not special and might be something that more than just the top class could afford. Another thing that can be observed is that the artist tried to hide the hands of the subjects this might indicate the skill and cost of the artist. The final thing that I should be noted is the lack of jewelry on ether subject, other photos and items in the different Hellenistic collections contains many types of jewelry so the subjects might not have been able to afford it or the artist did not want to create it or did not have the still to create it which is interesting considering statues are not the most affordable thing. https://jacknorton.org/1101-online-sp19/files/original/79ce6b2dfe5872639818950cb2862399.jpg efa6034c59540c266a4f7a24e2cdf2a1 https://jacknorton.org/1101-online-sp19/files/original/c998c3438dd944bb8eb5bb391416c28c.jpg b7a59d76fec9906caa19825053d39513 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Terracotta vase in the form of a sleeping African (known as Ethiopian) boy and Bronze statuette of an African (known as Ethiopian) youth Subject The topic of the resource Africans in Greek Art Description An account of the resource I chose these two images to highlight how different Greek art was when showcasing which person. The first image, I chose the “Ethiopian” boy. If you look at the statue, his face seems to be soulless, which could indicate that the Greeks didn’t see them as human, that they were just soulless creatures that did work for them. If you can place emotion on him, he seems distressed. My question would be, why would Greeks choose to showcase a little boy in distress? Perhaps because that’s the only experience that they had with them, because they weren’t treated well. He also, has very little clothes. He seems to not be covered at all, just a little tie around his waist that doesn’t appear to even cover him completely. My second image is the sleeping boy. This one, also shows a child who doesn’t seem to be sleeping well. He is naked and has a spout neck emerging from his back, which is meant to put liquid in. This would give the idea that he is meant to hold the Greek’s items, like liquid. They have been reduced to simple objects like a pot, they are not people.

Title A name given to the resource Terracotta vase in the form of a sleeping African (known as Ethiopian) boy Subject The topic of the resource Africans in Ancient Greek Art Description An account of the resource I chose these two images because they reflect on how the Africans were simplified and objectified. The first sculpture is from the Iron age, and shows how the Greek liked to generalize or oversimplify the “Ethiopians.” The face is exaggerated, with an exceedingly large nose/nostrils and wide, pursed lips. The hair doesn’t even look like hair, they just poked holes in the head and called it a day. Comparing the art to today’s times, I think that many people would say that this contributes to the animalization or historically racist caricatures of black people today. Not only that, but this is a pendant, people willingly wore this around their neck like it was jewelry. I think that also says something about the objectification of black people at the time. While Africans were mainly used for entertainment purposes, my second image (from the Hellenistic period) shows that they had also been enslaved by the Greek. The little boy is naked, and the terracotta vase is meant for people to pour their water into. This is a bit contradictory considering that slaves were deprived of many resources, yet the artist wanted people to give him water. Comparing both art pieces, I find it interesting that when depicting Africans, the Greek often turned the art into an object (whether with utility or not). When looking at the Greek depicting themselves, they are often these huge, marble structures or statues with intricate detail, and rarely imposed as an object. They also happened to be clothed, but when they aren’t its regarded as symbolism for purity and is almost luxurious. Further Questions: I am wondering why the Metropolitan only revealed one image that suggested slavery was prevalent in Greece. Keeping in mind that many affluent people collected Greek art, I wonder if they were as enthusiastic to purchase Greek depictions of Africans art. I also wonder if we have perspectives on any of the people who were enslaved or the artist’s that sculpted them. I think that it would make an exceptional conversation to speak about slavery in regards to divinity, and the justifications people had.
