The first era of historical Greek sculptures was influenced by the body art statue of the Ancient Egyptians. The traditional Egyptians first brought body art statue to importance by emphasizing excellence of the human form. Even therefore, the traditional Greek sculptures of the time were considered unnatural and inflexible. The body sculpture of this time is criticized for showing that they were assembled in pieces. These statues are today referred to as Kouros (for male) and Kore (for female). They are known for their subjects standing tall and erect, looking straight forward with arms at the sides. A modern body sculpture artisans will seldom use the Kouros and Kore type of these sculptures.
