Module 8 Video Review

1.
I chose The Greek Awakening: Art from the 5th Century BC because I've always found Greek art interesting. I also really like the Greek mythology and thought this video would be cool to watch. I thought it would give a better understanding at what was going on during the time and what made everything happen.
2.
More Human than Human - It was interesting to see how they connected the different sculptures around time and area with certain aspects which connect to the human brain and how we mentally react. There were multiple statues that accentuated the same aspects of the human body. Art that grabs our attention isn't 100% realistic. Art that grabs our attention is accentuated in some way, even if its just slightly to make it nonhuman. It was also interesting to see that they connected this idea with the seagull experiment again because since we already had learned about it, it was easier to make a connection with what they were trying to prove.
The Greek Awakening: Art from the 5th Century BC - From this video I learned that the center of existence are humans. It was also cool to see how they were in the process of preserving the Parthenon in Athens and how it would take multiple decades. It was also interesting to learn about the theaters and how it became an important part of Greek culture and how they were able to create great acoustics. Athens was also the area where Greek tragedy and comedy started. Its interesting to see how far back things actually started and that we still incorporate those things now.
3. 
These videos relate to the text because the first video basically goes through chapter 14 and hits the same points. The video I chose relates to the text from chapter 14 as well with the ruins and sculptures that were placed on buildings like the Parthenon.
4.
I liked these films because they did add depth to the text. I think that they gave an actual visual on what we are learning besides the visuals that the textbook gives us. I also like how they add different things to what we are learning and how the videos can connect previous things that we have learned through this semester so far.
