  How Art Made The World 1

• They used human body in the most interesting ways 
• Greeks believed that their gods were in human bodies forms
• Some forms are more important to the human brain while others are completely ignored

     The Measure of All Things: Greek Art and the Human Figure

Greeks tried to use emotion in their art

They portray the human in a more realistic form.

Greeks didn't pay much attention to painting.

Greeks started thinking into the realm of depicting realism and shift away from Egyptian-like body forms   

3. How do the videos relate to the readings in the text?

I would say that the videos relate to the text because it also talks about the ancient art and the ideas of all the human body. These videos gave more information needed to really understand and appreciate ancient art. These videos explained how over the century the outlook of Greek art has changed and developed.

4. What is your opinion of the films? How do they add depth to understanding of the readings and art concepts?

I thought the videos were very well explained. It helped me understand the Greeks take on art and how they decided to change their outlook of art. They thought of the human body as a beautiful thing and it was fascinating to learn why they thought this way.
