Vase painting is a form of ancient art primarily associated with Greek pottery. Artists would decorate ceramic vases using various techniques, such as black-figure and red-figure styles. These methods involved painting figures and scenes with slip, a liquid clay mixture, which would then be fired in a kiln to create durable images. The subjects of vase paintings often included mythological scenes, daily life, and athletic competitions. These artworks served both functional and decorative purposes, as vases were used for storage, serving, and rituals. Today, they provide valuable insights into ancient Greek culture and society.
