Module 8

1. The required video talked about Ancient Greece and was really interesting, so I chose the Greek awakening video on art from the 5th century. 

2. In the required video, I learned the reason why today we are so vain about our bodies. It is because of how our ancestors viewed the body. I also learned that Egyptians sculpt and paint the body from the clearest angle in a 2D style, a style that has lasted for centuries, because of consistency and order. They use a grid pattern to paint or sculpt and have used it forever and in every building, statute, or pyramid. It is an unrealistic way to view body, but not as unrealistic as the Greeks vowed as I ałos learned from the required video. They were a very vain civilization and wanted to show a perfect body. That meant an athletic body with, the key to all our body issues today, exaggerated features. They had that view because they believed gods took a human form. Therefore, the better the body, the more godlike you seemed. I learned from the second video that Greece gave us a lot of culture and tradition. They sort of shaped a lot of what we do and what we feel today. This video also tied in with the first because it tlked about how vain Greeks were.

3. These videos relate to the text because they talked about Egypt and Greece. They also related to the text because it talked about body. 

4. I really like the required video. I learned a lot about why these civilizations painted and sculpted the way they did. I would totally share this video with someone.
