Another Video Review

1. The three videos that I choose to watch was 1) Beyond the Classical: Byzantine and Later Greek art because it was very interesting to see how the Byzantine Empire separated from the Catholic church to form the Orthodox religion and how they're art was unique from the Roman Empire. 2) Greek Awakening: Art from the 5th century because it is interesting to see how Greece contributed to the early Eastern Civilization. Lastly the film, The Measure of All things: Greek Art and the Human Figure was very interesting because it gives an interesting look back at how buildings were constructed with designs of human sculptures.

2. In the film, More Human than Human, the key concept I have learned was realism of the human body and how it was embraced in Greek art. In Beyond the Classical: Byzantine and Later Greek art the key concept was religious paintings which showed art of scenes that were taken from the bible. In Greek Awakening: Art from the 5th century, the key concept was pediment which was triangular form that was usually created in front of a building that is supported by columns. Lastly for The Measure of All things: Greek Art and the Human Figure, the key concept was Cycladic sculptures.

3. The videos definitely related to the course teachings of the text book because both explain the Orthodox art of the Byzantine Empire and how it is different from the religious art of the Roman Empire. Also both views discussed the architectural work of Greek art such a human sculptures and the construction of buildings.

4. All four of the films that were viewed were very interesting to watch. They really make one think about how art can have an importance in society. They add depth to the readings by giving visuals on how the art of Greece and Rome came to past.
