Built in 447 and 432 BC, dedicated to the Greek Goddess Athena.
I've came to an understanding how Art makes up majority of the Ancient Greece. According to an article I've came across to, it mentioned how "Ancient Greek art emphasized the importance and accomplishments of human beings, even though much of the Greek art is honor to the Gods, those very gods were created in the image of humans (Art and Architecture)". It seems like to me , that the Greek's take Art in a sacred and highly within their culture. This is one thing about Ancient Greece that spoke out to me, we live in a world surround by art. Art is express in many ways, yet is the emotion behind the artist , to tell us what does that art mean, because of the story behind the art. Art is a language, when we do not speak the same language. For example, I remember my parents coming from China, and did not speak one single english , but it was Art that allow them communicate with other people. If they went to a McDonald and did not know how to say the order, they will point at pictures. Is fascinating to see how Ancient Greece prioritize the form of ART.
The Famous Philosophers: Plate, Socrates, and Aristotle.
Since I learned how important Art is to Ancient Greece, I will go ahead and continue with this topic. The Greece gave us three form of art ; Democracy, Architecture, and Philosophy. All three of this art plays a role mentally and physically within the humanity realm. Philosophy comes from their language and means love of wisdom" (Before Renaissance Part: I). The three famous Greek Philosophers are still widely known and respected in todays modern world. Plato was Socrates student, as Plato was the mentor of Aristotle . Socrates focus on the art of asking questions. His name is attached to Socratic method in which you constantly ask questions so that students can steadily break down a big problem in smaller parts, parts they can hypotheses against" (Plato and Aristotle: Crash Course History of Science #3). Plato's based on his philosophy on geometric law , as Aristotle was hired as a tutor to king Phillip II, and trained his son Alexander to conquer many country . As we can observe here, These three ancient philosophers learn together, but had their very own mindset and perspective on ideas and things. This form of mental art is so fascinating to me , I would of never dive deeper into what these philosophers do without this class. Here I attached a video that I grasp the information about the famous philosophers.
