1. Explain why you selected each of the TWO videos you choose from the selection listed above.
I chose the videos Buddhism and African Art. I selected the two videos because I wanted a further look into the cultures and art than what the book offered us.
2. For each video list/discuss the key concepts you learned.
In the first video, I learned about the cultures and art sculptures of Buddhism. I learned that the scriptures were written in stone for the people who could not read and got a more in depth knowledge of Buddhism. In the second video, I learned how African art was made and learned about mosaic making and materials that are used.
3. How do the videos relate to the readings in the text?
The videos relate to the readings in the text because the book gave us a quick overview of each culture. The videos went into further detail and showed more examples of the art. The videos did a better job of explaining because they had a lot of images to follow along with the information.
3. What is your opinion of the films? How do they add depth to understanding of the readings and art concepts?
Overall I thought both videos did a great job of explaining both cultures and added a bit more to what the book talked about. I liked how the videos explained the art forms of each civilizations.
