Module 10 Video Review

1. African Art: Legacy of Oppression and Chinese Art: Treasures of the National Palace Museum were the movies that I picked because they seemed interesting to me. The two countries have such different views on art that I thought it would be fun to see what the movies had to show in terms of artwork.

2. African Art: Legacy of Oppression talks about the many different masterpieces that are included in this African Art collection. Each piece is different because there are so many cultures mixed into one region. The people in the film also talk about how detailed each artwork is. They use the example of a comb. The comb had every single bristle engraved into the sculpture. Chinese Art: Treasures of the National Palace Museum talks about a collection of art that is from 5,000 years ago. It shows multiple different bowls with paintings on them. Each animal on the bowl represents a different symbol in Chinese culture. They also used black tea bowls in order to bring out the tea within the bowl. They brought out pieces from oldest to newest.

3. The videos take what we read in the text and bring more meaning to it. They list more examples of what was talked about in the text and show more artwork from each culture.


4. I enjoyed the films. Each piece has most of the art concepts interwoven within the piece.
