seem to have?

2) Looking back at the temples, which seem to have Doric columns?

3) Looking back at the temples, which seem to have Ionic columns?

4) Looking back at the temples, which seem to have Corinthian columns?

5) Find five famous buildings ( buildings that I would know) that have been influenced by Greek architicecture.

Points to ponder What characteristics does Greek art seem to

have? Is there a theme to their art? (Example nature,

religion, animals) Are the statues realistic looking? Why do you

think they are all so muscular? Why do you think the Greeks didn’t use more

color on their vases? What was your favorite piece of art? Why do

you like that one? Overall do you like Greek art? Why or why not?
