Dr. Renee M. Gondek, “Introduction to ancient Greek art,” in Smarthistory, August 14, 2016, accessed December 9, 2018, https://smarthistory.org/greek_intro/.

-This source by Dr. Renee M. Gondek describes an introduction to ancient Green art while going in depth on language, religion, and culture of different time periods. This can be useful for my project and proposed thesis statement because Gondek talks about the introduction of Greek art in the Archaic period with the stand still statue of Kouros.

 

Dr. Bryan Zygmont, “Hiram Powers, The Greek Slave,” in Smarthistory, January 24, 2018, https://smarthistory.org/hiram-power-greek-slave/.

-This source by Dr. Bryan Zygmont is about the story and origin of the Greek Slave and how it became a well known sculpture. This can be useful for my project because it provides a deep analysis of the sculpture itself as well as Hiram Powers’ (the artist) meaning behind the features of The Greek Slave. Through defining the female nude of the slave, I would be able to further argue my thesis of how Greek and Roman art used the human body to tell a story and symbolize beauty through experience.

-This source by Dr. Beth Harris and Dr. Steven Zucker provides two videos on the Kouros itself. This is simply an all about video on the Kouros and what each feature of the stand still sculpture represents. This is helpful for my project because it offers descriptions on the kouros and what the body represents. This relates to my thesis on why the human body was used in Greek and Roman art.
