Module 8

1. The Measure of all Things: Greek Art and the Human Figure is the video i chose because after watching the required film I was interested in how the depiction of the human body played a role in advancements in art.

2. Key concepts from the required video (More Human Than Human) seemed to be the interpretation of the depiction of the human figure. While the Greek Art and Human figure video seemed to dig a little deeper into the latent meaning of some of these figures by exploring the motion and emotion of the figures.

3. These videos relate to the text by way of advancements in early art history that may still shape the world of art today. For instance, Duccio and Giotto's methods of creating space or the way sculptures would give meaning to human figures with motion or exaggerated features.

4. I think both of the videos were very interesting in the fact that things in the modern world that may be considered the norms of art at one point in time were innovations. The videos give a solid understanding of how cultural development will play a role in advances in art as well
