I have to write a paper on vases from Geometric to Orientalizing periods.(from ancient Greece).

So these are my Thesis Statements:

"My paper is about the representations of animals and humans form on the vases from the Geometric to Orieltalizing periods."

or
"My paper is about the representations of animals forms and funeral processions on the vases from the Geometric to Orieltalizing periods."

I am going to choose one but I am wondering if both of my thesis statements make sense.
Thanks

Neither of those is a good thesis statement.

Your thesis statement should state the changes or evolution of these representations from the Geometric to the Orientalizing (note spelling) periods.

Please study these sites for how to prepare a good thesis statement.
