Art
This is a Greek contribution. The Greeks did pottery. The pottery was orange and black. They used the pottery as containers. The containers held water, wine and olive oil. The pottery usually told story's about life.
Today we are still creating art like painting and sculpting. There is still pottery being made.
Architecture
This is a Greek contribution. There is 3 types of columns. Doric, Ionic and Corinthain. The Doric column was a simple design. The Ionic column was in the middle of the designs. Finally the Corinthain was the fanciest design.
Today we have historic buildings, office buildings, houses and any other buildings you see.
