Answer:

It is widley said and known that most of the greek art that is made is about or in of human beings. Greek art depicts humans so much that at first it was thought to be the primitive art in greek, such things as statues, idols, engravings, carvings, and drawings depicted some of the most famous human structures in Greece. But the real fact was how realistic they were.

Greek art is characterized by the representation of human beings. Particularly, the figures and forms of human bodies.

The Greeks put mankind at the centre and made the gods in the image of humankind.

To represent the body is a basic human instinct, and in the ancient world, the Greeks were the one who always desired to represent the body in their art. For instance: the naked female form in early Greece was a sign of religious cult connected with the quest for fertility in childbearing, or in the productivity of the earth.
