mod 8 video review

1. Explain why you selected each of the three videos you choose from the selection listed above.
I selected these three videos; Beyond the Classical: Byzantine and Later Greek Art, More Human Than Human, and Cataclysm: The Black Death Visits Tuscany because some of these topic i read in the book and i wanted to further my knowledge on the topic because it sounded interesting to me.

2. For each video list/discuss the key concepts you learned.
Beyond the Classical: Byzantine and Later Greek Art, the key concepts i learned from this video was about the heliocentric modernism. During this period the art evolved. What i found interesting was when the lady was talking about the painting and how the artist combined so many things in on painting. The key concepts i learned in Cataclysm: The Black Death Visits Tuscany was about the black plague. I learned how the plague was carried out from china all the way to Europe which is something i did not know. Also i learned that the plague killed so many people and lasted for such a long time which is something that was new to me.

3. How do the videos relate to the readings in the text?
These videos relate to the readings in the text because in the text we also learned about Byzantine and the period of Greek art. We also learned about the realism of art which is also mentioned in these videos.

4.What is your opinion of the films? How do they add depth to understanding of the readings and art concepts?
My opinion of the film was that i found the three that i watched to be very interesting. It furthered my knowledge more from the topics that were in the text. I think it made the concepts of art  that we learned about in the two chapters more clearer and it was cool to get a visual understanding of it.
