1. I selected these to videos because the titles seemed interesting to me. If I had enough free time to watch more of them I would because I like to learn about different cultures and I think it;s interesting learning about their art. The videos I choose were; Islamic Art: India and the Middle East and African Art.
2. The key concepts that I learned from Islamic Art were about the wonders of Islamic art. It focuses on Islamic architecture and other forms of at that are from the Islamic world. In order to understand the art of the Islamic and Middle East we need to know the culture and history. On of the architectures that the video reviews is the Taj Mahal. The key concepts that I learned from the African Art video was that art is very important in Africa. It is apart of their daily life. The video explains the importance of art in African rituals.
3. The videos relate to the readings of the text because each form of art is also mentioned in the text. The Taj Mahal was an architecture mentioned in the book on page 293. African art and Islamic art were both mentioned in chapter 18. Both the book and videos gave great examples of their art pieces and history of the regions
4. Each film was interesting and help me to have a better understanding of art of the Islamic and African areas. Reading about them in the text book is helpful but watching the videos about them help me to get a better understand and more facts about the topics.
