Exam Essay Questions::
These questions make up the bulk of
the Unit exam. Both will be on the
exam. Use study guide to help you
focus on key issues
1. Discuss the development of the female figure in Greek sculpture from Archaic through the Hellenistic
periods,. Select three figures that you think best demonstrate the development - one each from the
Archaic, the Classical, and the Hellenistic periods. Pay particular attention to the amount of motion given
to the figures, the degree of realism, the use of drapery, and the means used by the sculptors to achieve
these effects. How does each illustrate the stylistic characteristics of her period.?
2. Trace the development of the Greek temple by comparing and contrasting the Temple of Hera I at
Paestum (S05-11/12/13) and the Parthenon (S05-42) Analyze the Parthenon as the epitome of the Greek
temple, discussing structural elements, plan, original purpose. In what ways was the Erechtheion
different? What specific structural refinements and optical illusions can be found in the Parthenon? Why
would the architects find such adjustments important?
