The Greek Orders
Doric Order: shafts sat directly on the stylobate without a base. the shafts were fluted and ranged from five and a half seven times the diameter of the base. Included alternating metopes and triglyphs above the neck
The Ionic Order: the capital includes a specific spiral volute, continuous sculptured or decorated frieze, and decorative moldings
Corinthian Order: the capitals are stylized with acanthus leaves and this specific order was specifically used inside Greek buildings but eventually used on the outside.
Acropolis: part of the city that remained on top of the hill and served as a fortress and sactuary. These developed during the High Classical period 450-400 BCE
The Parthenon
*Kallikrates and Iktinos *430 BC *Greek architecture
Theater , Epidauros
These Greek theatres were used for religious expression, music, poetry, dance, dramas. They were first made in the fourth century BCE and later. The structure was sort of a half circle surrounding the base.
Speaking of theatrical attributes, the sculptures in the Hellenistic period became more dramatic and filled up more of the enclosed space. There also became more of an interest in sculpting “ordinary” people.
