1. Explain why you selected each of
the TWO videos you choose from the selection listed above.
I chose Buddhism because that religion itself has always interested me. Their views on religion while incorporating devotion, yoga, and meditation also have caught my interest in the past.
I chose Chinese Art, because I wanted to see if it incorporated anything related to Buddhism because they are located in Asia.

2. For each video list/discuss the
key concepts you learned.
I don’t think I realized that Buddhism started in India, and spread to other lands, where it flourished. Also I didn’t know anything about specific architectural works, such as the Mahabodhi Temple, in Bodh Gaya.
The Chinese Art video showed me 33 works of Chinese art, seldom ever seen outside of the National Palace Museum. There is SO much detail involved in these works, and the meanings behind them are even more interesting.

2. How do the videos relate to the
readings in the text?
The videos relate to the readings in the test regarding the history of these topics. The videos give a more in depth view on the cultures, by also giving you a visual version of the same information, which for me, makes you understand more by actually seeing and hearing rather than just reading.

3. What is your opinion of the
films? How do they add depth to understanding of the readings and art concepts?
Buddhism has always caught my eye because of the relaxation, monks, etc. The video gave a much deeper understanding of the culture incorporating art and architecture.
The Chinese Art video was a little challenging to keep track of the chronological order of things…history has never been my forte, but overall, the incredible detail involved in these pieces made me realize how different Western art is from Eastern.
