module 8 video review

1. Explain why you selected each of the three videos you choose from the selection listed above.

As a sucker for Ancient Greek and Egypt mythology I was my interest to know more about ancient arts and how such arts were developed and the videos explained that.  

2. For each video list/discuss the key concepts you learned.

More Human Than Human: how humans don’t like realism so the ancient Egypt and Greece had to make their art extraordinary as shown in the video the Venus of Willendorf.

Beyond the Classical: Byzantine and Later Greek Art: Greek art flourished with the rise of Christianity and the Orthodox Church. Also, how Byzantine began the art of painting.

The Greek Awakening: Art from the 5th Century BC: Human beings are the center of existence and the restoration of Parthenon. Also, shows some of the great art of Greek such as the theater at Epidavros.

2. How do the videos relate to the readings in the text?

The video related to the reading in the text in a way that it educate us on ancient Greek and Egypt architecture, and art which the text does the same. Also, shows how ancient Greek and Egypt had different style in art but Greek copied and enhanced the art of Egypt as well as Rome copying and enhancing Greek art and architecture.

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

My opinion on the films is how they all relate to Greek, Rome, and Egypt art and architecture and shows the beginning of art. They add depth by explaining how artist in the ancient world wanted to create extraordinary from the ordinary.
