Module 8

Human Video-


1- This video was required to watch, and I'm glad it was. I most likely would of picked this one if it wasn't already required.
2- In the video More human than human I learned facts about the nomadic people. They hunted and gathered in small groups. These people never stayed in one spot and were always moving. I cant imagine living like that! In most paintings and sculptures woman were portrayed with big legs, stomach and breasts, but regular face and arms. People were unsure of why artists portrayed women this way, they guessed it was a symbol of motherhood. Early humans were stimulated by these images and fat was highly desirable. The famous figure was is called Venus. Brain scientists figured out why ancient humans portrayed women this way. Scientists compared seagals to the Venus to complete their findings. They found out that baby seagals are attached to their mothers by the red strip on their beak. Ancient humans were pre-programmed to exaggerate what mattered most.
3- The video and text relate to each other by the same topics discussed. Also there were similar images shown. They both related to the same historical time periods.
4- I enjoyed the video and am glad it was required. I learned a lot and thought it was very interesting. The images shown gave more depth to my understanding of the material. This video showed symbols and places as to where the narrator was discussing.


Art and Life in the Middle Ages-
1- I chose this video because I thought it would be educational to learn in depth facts and history from the middle ages.
2- In the video the author of the prayer book shown and talked about was Luttrell Psalter. In the prayer book they showed monsters, daily life and animals on every page. Whether it be on the top, bottom, middle and in between the lines on the page. Luttrell has images of people on the pages, people seem to think their people he once knew. The images show facial expressions, hair styles and fashion. On one of the pages in the top corner there is a gray face. People seem to think it is Luttrell but no one is sure. In 1315- 1316 these time periods resulted in many people dying. Also in this time farming was the way of producing food. Woman would make cloth and spin. Spinning took a lot of time, they compare this to woman cooking.
3- This video relates to the text by discussing similar facts during the middle ages.
4- I liked this video and happy I chose it as my choose. This video showed different images of people that may have lived in ancient times. Also it showed us a prayer book and taught us about the master Luttrell Psalter.
