Time for another Video Review

1. The four videos I have selected is (1)"African Art" because it shows such a great diversity of art through rituals, spiritualism, and culture. The second video is "Buddhism" because of how art and the religion connects together in a aesthetic view of tranquility. The third video I choose is "Islamic Art" because of how the art tells a history or story of a Muslim faith. Lastly, the final video I have chosen is "Chinese Art: Treasures of the National Palace Museum" because of the rich history of the country's pottery making.

2. For each key concept: In "African Art", the key concept in this movie is carving, which was form of art that has symbolism to it. In "Buddhism"the key concept is tanha which is form of Buddhist teaching. In "Islamic Art" the key concept it mosque, which is a place of worship for Muslims. The key concept for "Chinese Art: Treasures of the National Palace Museum" is curio which is made of metal or the form of wood.

3. The videos relate to the readings in the textbook by discussing the meaning and symbolism of how the art of Africa and Asia correlates to the culture of the people. The only difference is that in the film is it tends to focus on one individual's artwork.

4. The films are very interesting and also it shows how much the people that represent each country have a love for their beliefs and upbringing that they express it in a form of art. They also add depth to the readings because they give more of a story about the artist.
