Module 8

Questions and Topics for Your Blog Posting:
1. Explain why you selected the video you choose from the selection listed above.
I chose The Measure of All Things: Greek Art and the Human Figure  because in the title it had the word Human so I figured it coincided with the More Human than Human video



2. For each video list/discuss the key concepts you learned.

For the More Human than Human video never thought of the no one picture that dominates is the human body we look at this the most anywhere in magazines on television and the art world this is what we see the most of we have been obsessed --some are breath taking



one thing they all have in common what ever the use and where ever they appear what they all share is they dont look exactly like the human body sizes perfection materials--


for The measure of all Things: Greek Art and Human Figure
sine 3000 BC they were also obsessed with the  body. 
Greek culture when artist began to use realistic sculpting in the way we see ourselves and our world. The obsession with human condition helped convey emotion through sculptures.





3. How do the videos relate to the readings in the text?  In chapter 14 they speak of the statue of Willendorf  this was made looking grotesque but still representing a woman for the main parts of breasts and stomach.  It states in the book that art from the past states this is not the best art that was made.  All though this art is very important for it started a trend that grew in beauty and detail over the centuries.  within the video The Measure of all things sculptures started a revolution by realism  in the Head of Akkadian you can see realism of facial structure with mix of animal body but it has the 3D visual that was spoke about in the film also.  For the pic 14.24 Warrior you can see the detail of the mans torso with visions of his natural breasts belly button all they way to the individual toes within the feet. 



4. What is your opinion of the films? How do they add depth to understanding of the readings and art concepts?
as my opinion in all the films it brings light to understanding of old and new art and how over the centuries perfection has evolved into works of exceptional paintings and sculptures.  Not only has it added depth to art but also to our architectural meanings with building.  As in chapter 15  15.18 and 15.19 these cathedrals are per say a sight for sore eyes.  detailed works of art that still stand tall today that are monuments for thousands of tourist to see and appreciate.
