Day 15

Today in class we took notes. My notes consisted of the following, "nike of samothrace-discovered in 1863, the nike (or winged victory) of samothrace was probably created around 203 bc to honor a sea battle. through it exaggerated features and artful portrayal of flowing disparity, the nike conveys a sense of action and triumph. Currently its displayed at the Louvre museum in Paris. " "red and black pottery- greek art also included pottery, which is known for its beauty of form and decoration. two major types of greek pottery are black figure and red figure. the vessel shows a scene from greek mythology. the god zeus, disguised as a bull carries off a young woman named europa. the figures on the plate demonstrate the importance of fish in the greek diet."
