This course explores the people, processes and places that fostered the technological and artistic creativity of potters, sculptors, and temple builders in ancient Greece. Our topics range from the arduous apprenticeship of a potter glorified by ancient philosophers as the ultimate example of patience and cumulative learning, to the precision and forethought of a sculptor carving a 15 ft monolithic marb;e statue. Any mistakes in quarrying, shaping, or detailing such a colossal marble statue, would force the sculptors to abandon their original design. Finally, the temple building sites were the hubs for experimentation and innovation. The ancient Greek temples were public projects involving a wide spectrum of specialists, from rope makers, to wax modellers, and ivory-carvers. The Parthenon, the largest temple in Greek mainland, exemplifies this interaction of the vibrant craft communities in the ancient Greek world.
Please Note: This course is an updated version of the same course offered by Professor Hasaki in Summer 2014.
