My Capstone Project Conclusion
These styles of Greek pottery developed over hundreds of years and vary greatly. Orientalizing style pottery can hardly even be recognized as Greek to the untrained eye. They do share some similarities, like their uniquely Greek red-orange clay color and intricate designs, but they really do encompass a vast range of shapes and aesthetics. However, the strongest unifier of them all is their exquisite beauty and unparalleled level of craftsmanship. These ancient pots were made by hand two thousand years ago, and yet I still had difficulty reproducing them with today’s advancements. Their success is undeniable. These Greek pots have withstood centuries, and still rival modern day art. It is my sincere hope that this information and these images give you a better understanding of the artistic achievements of the ancient Greeks. And going forward, not only do I hope that these achievements are not forgotten, but that they are embraced and used as inspiration for future centuries to come.
