Greek sculpture

I say let's trust the BBC.

Watch a clip of How Art Made the World.* (If you like, go on to watch more of this programme or choose other programmes about Greek sculpture.)

Here is a place for information on the Riace bronzes shown at the end of the clip.

Maybe visit this site. (Remember when Mr W helped you make a model of the Parthenon? I bet it's still in his attic.)

On the same site are pages on sculpting material and techniques for marble and bronze.

Look at the explanation for casting bronze at the bottom of the page. Does it remind you of your visit to the Henry Moore sculpture park at Perry Green?

If, after all your reading and talking, you want to try the quiz, go ahead. (I knew more than I thought.)

Me, I want to visit Greece. Who's coming?

*Maybe a particular geographic area of the world and a particular way of looking at it. There's plenty of world not affected by Greek art 2,500 years ago. What do you think?
