1. Explain why you selected the video you choose from the selection listed above.
I chose the video I did solely because it looked the most interesting and grabbed my attention.
2. For each video list/discuss the key concepts you learned.
How art made the world 1 - In this video I learned about the most stunning treasures in the world and the obstacles the artists had to deal with back then. The human body inspires and manipulates us everyday. Images are rarely created the aren't realistic to which the specific person looks like. The Greeks were the first to create realistic naked statues of human beings.
The Greek Awakening - Greece is part of the furniture of the mind. The shaped things the way we saw them and looked at things in the world. The Greek awakening created the sense of thinking that we live with now. Painting and sculpture started to be done in a creative way in human picture and design. The statues became human Gods because the Greeks became God and were afraid of loosing battles with others. The statue of Poseidon and Athena was very interesting and detailed. It portrayed a lot of information on the meaning of the statue and what each part of the piece meant.
3. How do the videos relate to the readings in the text?
These videos relate to the text because they both describe the history of Greek art and the chapter is a summary of both videos, modern art of the body. Both videos and the reading were alike in ways that they built off of each other.
4. What is your opinion of the films? How do they add depth to understanding of the readings and art concepts?
I believe that the videos did in fact add to my understanding of architecture. Between both videos, I gained information that I have never knew about before. I felt after watching these videos it explained more how art mad the world "more human, than human". I felt the video I chose went along with the required video and also felt I got a good amount of information out of the video I chose.
