Discuss the evolution of style in Greek sculpture, naming and describing specific works that illustrate each of the stages you mention

What will be an ideal response?

The sculptural traditions of Greece began with small bronze figures of horses and men. Drawing on Egyptian stylistic presentation of the body, the Archaic period produced stiff, frontal figures with a degree of naturalism and consisted of young Greek males called Kouroi. The Greek concern with lifelike representation is evident in the Classical style of a bronze statue, Warrior A, an idealized, virile male body. As the spread of Greek culture moved eastward, sculpture developed in several stylistic directions, one being a continuing classical style as seen in the Aphrodite of Melos, and a more dynamic presentation of extreme emotions in the Laocoön Group.
