Ancient Greek and Hellenistic Art

Both Ancient Greek and Hellenistic art have made a significant impact on Western art and society. Ancient Greek art was focused on humanism, portraying a realistic yet idealised human form, while Hellenistic art was characterised by emotional intensity, realistic illusions, and theatricality. Greek artists were renowned for their skill in working with multiple materials, including marble, bronze, terracotta, and gold, and their attention to detail. Pottery, produced in large quantities, was also a significant aspect of Ancient Greek art. In addition, Ancient Greek architecture is characterised by its simplicity, symmetry, and use of columns and pediments.

Wheel of the Year – Yule

Yule is one of the eight Pagan holidays in the Wheel of the Year. It marks the winter solstice, which is the longest night of the year. This festival originated in ancient pagan festivals in Scandinavian and Germanic cultures. It was a time to celebrate the cycle of life, death, and rebirth. Some Yule traditions include lighting the Yule log, decorating evergreen trees, giving gifts, giving acts of kindness, and spending time with loved ones. Yule rituals focus on reflection, renewal, and hope. They may include burning a wreath, a candlelight vigil to honour loved ones who have passed away, or a meditation on hopes and dreams for the coming year. Yule's message is about spreading joy and kindness to those around you.
