Humans make art and art makes us human the first video states, all images created of the body are not very realistic. The video 80,000 years ago was when we started to create art, it wasn't until about 30,000 years ago that we started to make statues and images of the human body. They used grids to make paintings on cave walls, and the grids were pretty much the same all over Egypt. Greek society finally created a realistic body, this realism had a great effect on the Greeks. This video gave detail about different cultures and how their artwork showed us their views of the human bodies evolution. This video relates to the text because it talks about the cultures and the different views on art and images of humans bodies. I think this video was pretty good and actually quite interesting. I didn't realize that the Egyptians used a grid to make their wall paintings.
The video I chose to watch was "The Measure of All Things: Greek Art and the Human Figure". I chose this video because I thought It would be the most interesting. I think that The title sounded the most interesting to me. This video states that the art made everyone's body image perfect and made it look like they went to the gym everyday. They idealize the human figure in their artwork. They also state that 3,000 BC the Greeks were obsessed with the body. They state that there are really no ancient Greek paintings but there is a lot of pottery. They find a lot of burial sites in Greece now. There was a huge amount of pottery. This video relates to the text by talking about the art in ancient Greece and the images created by the artists during years long ago. I thought this video was fairly interesting and I found it interesting that they didn't do paintings but they did pottery.
