Three artistic forms in ancient Greece
The three major art forms in ancient Greece include pottery decoration, metal sculpture and early Greek temples.

1. Pottery decoration: After 900 BC, mature geometric pottery developed from primitive geometric style appeared in Athens. In the 8th century BC, painted figures and animals were very popular. Large vessels with geometric style are mostly symbols of tombs, such as pottery unearthed outside the Longmen of Athens land.

2. Metal sculpture: Artists in the geometric style period created many figurines made of wood, ivory and clay, especially bronze sculptures. These little people and animal statues are similar in style to the bottle paintings of this period. For example, the statue of centaur, made in the late 20th century BC/KLOC-0, is about 36 cm high.

3. Early Greek temples: few ancient Greek temples have been preserved so far, and the history of the temples is connected by some relics unearthed in archaeological excavations and pottery models. The earliest ruins of Greek temples that can be determined appeared in the geometric style period. These buildings are based on a rectangular plane with one or both ends rounded. These temples were built to worship the gods placed in them.

Generally speaking, the artistic forms of ancient Greece are rich and varied, including pottery decoration, metal sculpture and early Greek temples, which played an important role in the society at that time and reflected the cultural and artistic achievements of ancient Greece.
