1. Explain why you selected each of the TWO videos you choose from the selection listed above.
African Art, I have always enjoyed African Art it always very different and has such a different meaning behind it as to why they created it.
African Art: Legacy of Oppression, this one was more looking at art in a museum and discusses why they were created and why masks were so important in African in later times.
2. For each video list/discuss the key concepts you learned.
African Art: examines the symbolism, aesthetics, and functionality of African art through the vast region's sculpture, masks, architecture, ornaments, clothing, and utensils, it also talks about a specific village in Africa
African Art: Legacy of Oppression: Belgium's Tervuren Museum contains the world's largest collection of Central African art, which consists of approximately 250,000 pieces. Noted journalist Paul Solman discusses the power and the true price of this collection with art historian Ramona Austin and journalist/author Adam Hochschild.
2. How do the videos relate to the readings in the text?
Both of these videos relate back to the reading about masks and how they are created, where the creation of them started.
3. What is your opinion of the films? How do they add depth to understanding of the readings and art concepts?
I enjoy the videos, they really go into depth because it talks about a specific village in Africa in the one video so its different than the reading which is more general.
