Module 8
1. "More Human Than
Human" was mandatory. I chose "Late Gothic art and Architecture
" because I've always been interested in Gothic architecture, and
architecture in general. I choose "the Greek Awakening" purely
because of the reading and discussion I have already done this module on Greek
art, as I found it interesting.
2. The key concepts of
"More Human than Human" discuss that images of humans and human form
are all around us. A concept of "Late Gothic art and
Architecture" was how architecture evolved from the middle ages to the
renaissance. Much like art gradually changed between those periods, and
exploded in the renaissance, so did architecture. One of the concepts that
"The Greek Awakening" focuses on is that art and religion are interconnected.
each has a influence on the other. This is especially true for the Greeks, as
in Ancient Greece much of their art was focuses on their goddess and fables.
3. The videos complement
the text reading very well. The text provides small sections of a variety of
topics and the videos provide a much larger, in depth view on a specific topic.
4. I enjoy the selected
videos for this course, especially the ones where there is a choose of what to
watch. "Late Gothic art and Architecture ", for instance, was chosen
by mean because I've always been interested in the topic and enjoyed the
reading in the text. So I immediately went to that one when I saw the list. It
added much more depth and understanding on the Gothic era.
