Greek vases are an intricate and indestructible part of ancient Greek art and culture These vases were used for a variety of purposes, ranging from storing wine and oil to serving as grave markers and decorative pieces.
One of the most notable features of Greek vases is their detailed designs These designs often depicted scenes from Greek mythology and human activity The designs were typically painted in black or red on a light-colored background, with the black-figure technique being the most popular during the 6th and 5th centuries BCE
The red and black figure techniques worked in a similar way where first the vessel of the vase was shaped on a pottery wheel Figural and ornamental motifs were applied that turned black during the firing process and the background stayed the color of the clay For the red figure technique the motifs remained the color of the clay while the background got filled in and turned black during the firing process
In addition to their aesthetic value, Greek vases also hold significant historical and cultural significance. They offer a glimpse into the daily life and beliefs of ancient Greek society, including their religious practices, social customs, and artistic traditions
Today, Greek vases can be found in museums and collections around the world, providing a window into the history and culture of ancient Greece Their intricate designs and cultural significance continue to captivate scholars and art lovers alike, making them an enduring symbol of the ancient world

My name is Steph and I've been drawing and creating art pieces ever since I could pick up a pencil and scribble My inspirations come from experiencing the world I create a lot of pieces on canvas with acrylic paint, draw, and make digital illustrations.
Hi, I'm AnarkyArt, a digital artist out of Australia I have been creating art for the last 10 years digitally, with some of my main inspirations being Moebius and Kilian Eng. I have always loved the nostalgic feel of the 90's, and I try to incorporate that into some of my pieces, as well as my love of sunsets
Most of my art uses the same colour palette, pink, blue, purple and oranges, as these colours stand out, and are quite vibrant which catch the eye I am also a fan of 80's music, which I usually listen to while I create. My process for drawing is usually gathering reference, drawing the outlines, filing in the colours, then shading and lighting/effects last.
