== Ancient Greece == Ancient Greek art is mainly in four forms: [[architecture]], [[sculpture]], [[painting]], and [[painted pottery]].
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 [[Greek history]] (down to the [[Hellenistic]]). == Modern day Greece ==*[[Architecture]]*[[Cinema]]*[[Dance]]*[[Literature]]*[[Greek music|Music]]*[[Poetry]]*[[Photography]]*[[Sculpture]]*[[Theater]]
