module 8 video review

1. Explain why you selected the video you choose from the selection listed above.
I selected the video The Greek Awakening: Art from the 5th Century BC because the title was interesting and I was curious to know what specific details the video entailed about art in that specific time period.

2. For each video list/discuss the key concepts you learned.
I learned a few things from watching both videos. From the first video How Art Made The World 1- More Human Than Human, I learned that about sculptures, specifically the sculpture of Venus. The sculpture of Venus is worth $60 million. Another thing I learned from this video is that overtime, the styles of Egyptians never changed. The video I chose The Greek Awakening: Art from the 5th Century BC, I learned about the history of Greek and how the art from that era is important because many people learned a lot from it because it added to their creativity. I also learned that that people of that time period valued themselves so much that they saw themselves as Greek Gods.

3. How do the videos relate to the readings in the text?
The videos relate to the reading in the text because they highlighted things that were discussed in the book. The videos illustrates art and how it has evolved based on time periods.They also talk about the importance of art and how art can influence the work of others.

4. What is your opinion of the films? How do they add depth to understanding of the readings and art concepts?

I thought the videos were great. I enjoyed watching them because they were insightful and informative.They were great visuals to the material that is in the textbook. The videos added depth to the understanding of the reading and art concepts because through them, I was able to learn more about artists and their work and see all the effort and hard work that they put into their art. I was able to appreciate art on another level because I was able to go on a journey to see what it takes to create art. I was able to see past the beauty of the finished product of art and was able to see the struggles that it takes to accomplish that.

Why did you select the inspiration pieces? I selected the inspiration pieces because I loved the work by this particular artist.
