Chinese Art video: Through this video we got to see over 5000 years of Chinese Art. I chose this video because I have always attracted to how Chinese art looks. Something very interesting about this video was seeing how different types of art changes throughout the different dynasties within China. It seemed as if with each dynasty the art changed dramatically. It was interesting reading about art within different dynasties in the textbook, however actually seeing the art video form and learning in depth about that piece of work was fascinating. What made this video special, in my opinion was the beauty of all the works of art. For some reason, Chinese art just always stands out to me.
Islamic art: Africa and Central Asia: I chose this video because there were a lot of Islamic art videos to choose from so I definitely wanted to see one of the videos. Islamic art is so beautiful and interesting and unique. I don't think that Islamic art looks so different then other types of art. Islamic architecture is so stunning. While the textbook does a good job explaining Islamic art, but actually being able to see it on video, you get a feel for the culture. The music in the background of the video made me feel like I was actually there. This video absolutely expanded my knowledge on Islamic Art.
