Art in Ancient Greece
The art of Ancient Greece is usually dividedstylistically into four periods: the Geometric,
Archaic, Classical, and Hellenistic.
The onset of the Persian Wars (480 BC to 448BC ) is usually taken as the dividing linebetween the Archaic and the Classical periods,
and the reign of Alexander the Great (336 BC to323 BC ) is taken as separating the Classicalfrom the Hellenistic period.

Red-figure depictions were generally more livelyand realistic than the black-figure silhouettes.
T hey were also more clearly contrasted againstthe black backgrounds.
The red-figure technique permitted theindication of a third dimension on the figures.
However, it also had disadvantages. Forexample, the distinction of sex by using black
slip for male skin and white paint for femaleskin was now impossible. T he ongoing trend todepict heroes and deities naked and of youthfulage also made it harder to distinguish the sexes
through garments or hairstyles.
