Architecture includes houses, religious buildings like temples and tombs, and public building like city walls, theaters, stadia, and stoas.
Sculpture includes small figurines and life-size [[statues]], but also [[relief sculptures]] which were on the sides of buildings, and also tombstones.
We have very little Greek painting from the [[Classical period]]; most of what we have is from the [[Bronze Age]]. The paintings were painted on walls, as decoration for rooms, like [[murals]] or [[wallpaper]]. On the other hand, we have a good deal of [[painted pottery]] from all periods of [[History|Greek history]] (down to the [[Hellenistic]]).
