  4. Even though the pottery may have been simplistic in style and shape, the Greeks used detailed images from their everyday life (gods and godesses, war, love, etc.) on the pot or vase.

  6. Daily life effects people's art because many people put their emotions into their art. Also before they had a written language people would draw pictures to show what happens in their life.

  20. I like how the faces were not represented in so many of the scenes, that they were just black figures. I liked the anonyminity of it and that it kind of (now at least) adds to the mystique of ancient societies.

  29. The pottery reflects the people's daily lives and culture. Just as our art work today is influenced by what we do and see every day, the pottery these people made shows their background or experiences they have.
