Question

What did the pottery look like during the archaic period? (site 1)

Answer 1

Answer:

The Archaic period saw a shift in styles of pottery decoration from the repeating patterns of the Geometric period, through the Eastern-influenced Orientalizing style to the more naturalistic black- and red-figure techniques.

The pottery produced in Archaic and Classical Greece included at first black-figure pottery, yet other styles emerged such as red-figure pottery and the white ground technique. Styles such as West Slope Ware were characteristic of the subsequent Hellenistic period, which saw vase painting's decline.
