Questions and Topics for Your Blog Posting:
1. Explain why you selected each of the TWO videos you choose from the selection listed above.
The two videos that I chose from the selection were “Buddhism”, and “African Art”. I chose these videos because they seemed interesting and I wanted to know more about the religion and African art because I see a lot of African art in different neighborhood where I am from and I wanted to know more about it so that I could apply the knowledge when I go back home.
2. For each video list/discuss the key concepts you learned.
In “Buddhism”, I learned a lot about the origin and the spread of the Buddhist religion. This video really focused on places where Buddhism were popular and such as Mahabodhi Temple. The “African Art” video focused on the concepts and the importance of different African tribes. This video is from an artistic view and focuses on artistic expressions and what it means to the people in the tribe.
3. How do the videos relate to the readings in the text?
I always feel that the videos give us a deeper and visual interpretation of the concepts we learn in the chapter. The textbook provides us with a lot of information on the topic but I actually understand it more when I look at the videos because I get a visual representation of what I read in the textbook.
4. What is your opinion of the films? How do they add depth to understanding of the readings and art concepts?
These films were very organized and informative. It was a pleasure to watch these films because I learned things that were discussed in the textbook even better. Another reason why I enjoyed the videos because they were on topics that sparked my interest. After watching those videos I am eager to learn even more about Buddhism and African Art.
