Module 8 - Video Reviews

1. Explain why you selected the video you choose from the selection listed above.

 -  -

I chose this video because I began looking through all the videos and this one caught my eye because it was about the development of the reading and writing that monks took, I found that to the very interesting and  I chose to watch this one. (The World Inscribed).

2. For each video list/discuss the key concepts you learned.

I found that in the Human video, the study of the seagulls displayed remarkable evidence that brains can be manipulated in a way so it would think of certain things in an exaggerated context.

In the world inscribed video, I thought what was interesting was the part about how when an encryption was wrong even so slightly, the person would then have to go over and re do it so he knows he got it right.

3. How do the videos relate to the readings in the text?

In both the book and the videos, they described how over the years the development of such things as art, writing, and the human way of thinking has gone from a exaggerated standpoint to a more creative and exotic view of the world and whats within it.

4. What is your opinion of the films? How do they add depth to understanding of the readings and art concepts?

I thought the film about humans was a very intriguing film, it definitely showed me that things can be defined and figured out even from times that date back to B.C., what I didn't care about the world inscribe video was how they said that someone tried teaching themselves how to read and write but couldn't. I would think that it may be easier to learn when the brain was little bit more developed.
