How can I recognize ancient Greek architecture?

#metkids q&amp;a How can I recognize ancient Greek architecture? Hi, I'm Ella, and I'm ten years old. (laughing) I'm standing in front of the Ionic column from the Temple of Artemis at Sardis, <i>from the date of 300 BC,</i> <i>and this column was originally over 56 feet tall.</i> It's huge! <i>If you come to the Metropolitan Museum,</i> <i>it would be very hard to miss seeing this column.</i> Ancient Greek architects had three different types of columns, <i>named the Doric, the Ionic,</i> <i>and the Corinthian Columns</i>. <i>The Doric had the simplest design.</i> <i>On the top, it's very plain.</i> <i>It's kind of like a half circle, in a way.</i> <i>The Ionic has scrolls on both sides of it.</i> <i>There's four spirals, two in the front and two in the back.</i> <i>It kind of looks like a pillow to me.</i> <i>Corinthian, I think, is decorative.</i> <i>Looks like an ornament.</i> <i>It looks like there's leaves coming out of it,</i> <i>and then flowers in it, so it looks like a flower bush.</i> <i>They make me feel really small. (laughing)</i> <i>I like the Corinthian</i> <i>because in the Corinthian,</i> <i>you can find hidden flowers and leaves</i> <i>and types of designs, and it's made out of marble too,</i> <i>so it must be so hard to make such fine details.</i> For dance, I've been practicing headstands, <i>and when your feet are together, and you could hold it,</i> <i>it looks so controlled,</i> <i>like a column, it's so controlled,</i> <i>and it's so strong.</i> Columns are still used today <i>in famous monuments around the world.</i> <i>I do think that people think they're beautiful today.</i> This is Ella reporting from the Metropolitan Museum of Art. what's your #metkids question? Thanks for watching!
