1. Explain why you selected the video you choose from the selection listed above.
The reason why I picked this movie because I like to see the correlation between religion and art.
2. For each video list/discuss the key concepts you learned.
The "More human than human" key terms was exaggeration of human images.Exaggeration was used in early art but it was used for a specific reason. It was because of the culture is "indeed king" and the statues and sculptures that were created because this is how they saw there society. The order and precision of Egypt was all over everything they created because they wanted it to last forever.
The movie "beyond the classical: Byzantine and Later Greek Art"- icons were explained that this influenced contemporary art. I also learned that the icons were used to develop the painting of this period.
3. How do the videos relate to the readings in the text?
"More human than human" related to the text by reinforcing why the life life statues were made so realistic. They believed that gods were human bodies so this is why they wanted the human body to be so precise.
and that even the human body has evolved over the centuries.
"beyond the classical: Byzantine and Later Greek Art" related to the text by explaining that the church was a huge influence and starting point of the paintings.
4. What is your opinion of the films? How do they add depth to understanding of the readings and art concepts?
I liked both of these films they gave more of an explanation of the meanings of the terms in the sense of how it was used in the ancient days and how it has changed in the development of the art as of today.
