Videos: More Human Than Human, Cairo Museum
1. Explain why you selected the video you choose from the selection listed above.
- I choose the video "Cairo Museum" because I really like Museums, that made me pick the video but I found it very interesting when I watched it my favorite part was when the man was showing us a foot from a mummy it had a plastic toe and they said it was probably the first plastic surgery in history.
2. For each video list/discuss the key concepts you learned.
More Human Than Human Key Terms
- Exaggerate-the artists in the video often exaggerated the human body, big hips, legs and boobs
- Human Body-they aimed for the perfect body
- Figurines-tall sculptures as tall as human men
- unrealistic-many artists make sculptures that look disproportion and unreal from the human body
Cairo Museum Key Terms
- Egypt- a country of northwest Africa
- Cairo- capital of Egypt
- Museums basement-the basement holds secrets, and its like a tomb in its self
- Cairo Museum-may be the best museums in the world
- Exhibition- an organized presentation and display of a selection of items
- Acetone-used to gently clean artifacts
3. How do the videos relate to the readings in the text?
- The videos relate to the readings in the text by both talking about "Human figures in sculptures", they both talk about the idea trying to prefect the human body.
4. What is your opinion of the films? How do they add depth to understanding of the readings and art concepts?
- I really liked the films I think they definitely added depth to the understanding of the readings and the art concepts, I now have a better appreciation for sculptures, now when I see a sculpture instead of waling past I'll stop and really look at it for a different perspective.
