1. I chose the video "Late Gothic Art and Architecture: England, 1400-1547" because I felt like it would be the one that interests me the most due to the fact that I have always had interest in the country of England due to my family background.
2. For the first video about How Art Made the World I found that it was very interesting how they talk about us and the images we produce are not at all realistic to the way we look in real life. How when we would make statues and images of the human body, but when one person made images about another they would use the same exaggerated features. The key concepts that I learned from the second video were the transition from the middle ages to the Renaissance. How artists produced jewelry, sculptures, and images. It also showed in the art how important and religion was to the society at that point in time.
3. The readings relate to the text because they have a lot of similarities in the concepts they talk about. They both talk about the unrealistic images that we create about when looking at the human body. They also relate heavily towards religion in England at that point in time which played a heavy role in the art that was being created.
4. I believe that the videos were very eye opening because you get to see the concepts that we see in today's world and the reasons for why they are the way they are. They add depth and understanding to the readings of the text because they simply add more information to the key concepts and ideas. They help to illustrate these ideas and use great examples to back them up.
