Module 8

1.) The video I chose from the selections was Cairo Museum. I chose this because just by the title it seemed to be the most interesting sounding to me and I enjoy museums so I figured it would be something I would be interested in.
2.) The key concept of the first video More Human than Human, was that even though all statues of the human body are very different, almost all of them have a similarity of having a very unrealistic view of that the actual human body looked like. It shows the old Nomatic version of human artwork is more realistic than modern time. The Greece sculptures that were found in the sand under water. Greeks were very particular with the way the body looks. If your bodies looked good, you were good and very more of a god. Their goal was to create statues worthy of their temples.

In the second video "Cairo Museum" the key concepts were about the Egyptian museums basement and the Egyptian human statues they have stored down there. Only half of their artifacts are on display, and the other half is all underneath put away. They want to create a new display to show these long lost artifacts that were forgotten about. They have so many different choices. Many have never been out on display for over the 100 years they were there. They made it like a temple.

3.) These videos relate to the text because they both give us a sense of different ways cultures saw the human body. Some sculptures looked nothing like a human but some cultures made it well known of what the sculpture was. Different cultures used them for temples and for recognizing Kings and queens. They had a big influence on the people of different cultures and time periods

4.) In my opinion I think the videos were interesting. I enjoy the Museum video. I think the artifacts are amazing and they really took the time to make the new part of the museum just like a temple. In the first video I think it was very true that a lot of human sculptures are different but a lot of them are so unrealistic and nothing like a real human.
