Module 8

1. I chose to watch the The Measure of All Things: Greek Art and the Human Figure because I've always been fascinated by Greek culture and history. I've only previously looked at the sculptures of Ancient Greece and I wanted to learn more about them.

2.
      In More Human Than Human, it was interesting learning about the way Greeks viewed the human body in relation to their gods and goddesses. In Greek mythology, it is said that the Gods and Goddesses can sometimes transform into a human in disguise so Greeks believed the better someone looked, the closer that person is to being a God in the form of  human.
      In The Measure of All Things: Greek Art and the Human Figures, I learned that the main reason sculptures are the most well known form of art from Greece's history is because other forms (paintings, drawings, etc) are hard to find. Early Greeks appreciated building sculptures of the important people in their culture as  a form of worship.

3. The videos relate to each other because they both deal with the way art is incorporated in a culture's history. Both videos discussed Ancient Greece and how sculptures are a big part of their history and beliefs.

4. I enjoyed both videos, especially The Measure of All Things: Greek Art and the Human Figure due to it being mainly about Ancient Greek.
