Explain why you selected the video you chose. I selected these two videos because they have similar ideas of studying the human body and the life that goes into it. Yet, they are based on totally different religions and give different information and examples for art.
For each video list/discuss the key concepts you learned.
Florence: Heart of the renaissances
-it brought back the culture, realism, and emotion
- expressed human body
-"Florence was the center of it all", history on Florence
-"Renaissance was the age of humanism, confidence, and people worked hard."
-"David" by Michelangelo, a free-standing sculpture of an unclothed male
-"unfinished" statues by Michelangelo, that he started to crave out and left
-"birth of venus", nature with the human body
Art and Life in the Middle Ages: the Luttrel Psalter
- "monster drawing in a prayer book"
-human faces on other objects
-church themes with art
-images with Palm Sunday and the last supper
How do the videos relate to the readings in the text?
These videos are related to the text because they tie the folder Renaissance through Baroque and all the information inside.
What is your opinion of the films? How do they add depth to the understanding of the readings and art concepts?
I liked the films. One concept I liked was "David". I learned about the sculpture of "David" when I was younger and it stuck with me and I found it interesting. The fact that we have a copy of that sculpture here in our area is pretty cool and understanding to expand my knowledge on. It adds to the depth of art concepts because it shows me that there are other sculptures like "David" that I could learn about as well and that other cultures use the human body as an art form as well and for different meanings.
