Greek Influences.

Abstract: (5 pp) The philosophy in classical Greece which influenced three dimensional art forms of the period, could be summed up in the words of Protagoras: man is the measure of all things. This combined with other philosophers' emphasis on rational inquiry, and challenging the status quo, created a society of intellectual and artistic risk takers. Just as man's dignity and worth were central Greek concepts, the human figure was the principal motif in Greek art and architecture, in both, it reflected a similar respect for balance. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
