Video Review
Video : “More Human Than Human” and “The Measure of All Things:
Greek Art and the Human Figures”.
1. Explain why you selected the video you choose from the
selection listed above.
The
video "The Measure of All Things: Greek Art and the Human Figures” was my
first video, I really choses this video because it was the first link I got too
work, also after checking the other entries this came up to the smallest run
time. The other video was already chosen for me.
2. For each video list/discuss the key concepts you learned.
For the video “The Measure of All
Things: Greek Art and the Human Figures” I learned key concepts such as how the
Greeks used art to create images/sculptors that show that cultures perspective of
self. This also shows how the people of that time compared their bodies and
figures to each other and the art that created is a reflection of that idea. The
second video “More Human Than Human” showed a similar theme the focus being the
fixation of people and self-perspective, also the surgeon and his
study/understanding of how the brain process beauty and things of art.
3. How do the videos relate to the readings in the text?
Both
these videos relate to the video in ways of describing sculptures and there,
uses, creation, purpose and so forth. The idea of self-perspective being
reflected in the art we create was also talked about and given a great detail
both information and visual from a combination of the text and video.
4. What is your opinion of the films? How do they add depth
to understanding of the readings and art concepts?
The
film was fine, not too boring to a point where I would get disinterested in
watching it. The video offers a better visual representation of these pieces of
art look like but also some key information. Adding on to my understanding of
art I’ve learned how self-perspective of people, life and your self can heavily
influence art.
