Ancient Greek Sculpture

Greek sculptures were used to depict the battles, mythology, and rulers of Greece. The main materials used were marble and bronze, though not always.

I believe that Greek art - particularly sculptures, were a means of expressing symbolized humanism and displaying how important man was.
