1. I chose the Gothic style video because I am fascinated by the architecture of the style. The title interested me right away. I find ancient museums neat because there is so much history related to them and it is nice to see that. We have grown up seeing famour Greek art and I wanted to see a little bit more about it.
2. The Gothic style stood out for having manuscripts, jewels, stained glass, and the feeling of buildings reaching towards the heavens. It was an age of strong faith and consumption.
The Cairo Museum is the largest artifact museum in the world and stores more than 160,000 attifacts. The interesting fact is that only half of them are on display. The other half are hidden underneath the museum in the basement.
The Greek art brought out the most influential sculptures and buildings of Western culture. They had great momuments and the Parthenon is known for being one of the most famous works.
The Gothic video relates directly to the reading because we are able to see the same types of things that make the Gothic Style unique- arches, stained glass windows, etc.
The other 2 videos relate to our readings because the artifacts from Cairo and the famous Greek art described has been discussed in our readings and videos.
3. My opinion on these films was that they were informative, interesting, and not too dry. My favorite was the Cairo one because so many ancient artifacts were shown and discussed and it is amazing that such ancient artifacts are still in such good shape after such a long time.
