There was no particular reason for my choices, but I selected the video on Hinduism and African Art. I am glad that I chose these two because they were very interesting.
2. For each video list/discuss the key concepts you learned.
Hindus can worship
anywhere; it does not have to be in a temple or church. They also have many gods and goddesses in
which they worship. Hindus believe that
at the end of their life, we will all arrive at the same point and that there
is a cycle of life and you are reincarnated until you obtain liberation.
African Art is important
in tradition African rituals. African
art was unknown to the Europeans until the 19th century. It was interesting to learn that Africa art
was considered primitive of child like to Europeans. Their artwork was
displayed in their daily life; examples are in the tools they use, the masks
they wear or on walls and doors. African
art objects were created to conjure a spirit and emerged as a carrier of magic
and rituals.
3. How do the videos relate to the readings in the text?
The videos are an extension of what I have read. They went into a little more detail in specific cultures on the meaning and spirituality of their art.
4. What is your opinion of the films? How do they add depth to understanding of the readings and art concepts?
Like always, I enjoy
watching these videos. They add a little
extra interesting information on what I have read in the book. Most of what I watch is new to me so watching
the videos are pretty neat.
