Well, um, let’s turn now to vase painting. Vase painting was a very popular form of art among the Greeks. Illustrations of the lives of the gods, goddesses, and heroes—both ??(1) ??fictional and real—usually decorated the vases. The vases were made of red-coloured clay by people called potters. The vases had a ??(2)???? ??utilitarian function. That is, people used them to hold dry things such as grain, or ??(3) ??liquids like wine or oil.
The artists who decorated the vases perfected several different glazing techniques. They painted glazes on the vases, and then fired them in an oven or a kiln to make them ??(4)???? ??waterproof. Artists illustrated stories on these vases in different ways. They did this by decorating them in bands that ??(5) ??wrapped the pots. At times, many bands with small figures were popular, and at other times fewer bands with larger figures were more popular. As with ??(6) ??architecture and sculpture many examples of this art form have disappeared.
The earliest vases date back to the Geometric period. These vases had ??(7) ??abstract geometric designs. In the late Geometric period, figures start to appear on the vases. During the Archaic period, the black-figure technique was popular. In the black-figure technique, the figures are ??(8) ??outlined in black against the natural red background of the clay. Later, a painter known as Andokides—that’s A-N-D-O-K-I-D-E-S—developed a ??(9) ??reverse technique, called the red-figure technique. Examples of the red-figure technique can be seen on kraters (掺和器), a type of vase. Take a look at the example in your book. As you can see, it’s decorated with scenes from the lives of the gods. In the scene we can see here, Artemis, the goddess of hunting, kills Actaeon after he ??(10) ??accidentally sees her bathing.
