More Human Than Human: This video explained how different cultures illustrate human form in different ways. Sometimes artists will exaggerate different parts of the body to show its importance. Some cultures also strived for perfection in creating the human form while others show a more distorted image.
The Black Death: This video explained about how devestating the black death was in Sienna and Florence. Many works of art went unfinished because of this. People became much more interested in the devine world. A new spiritual upbringing would pave the way for high renaissance.
These films were interesting and went into good detail about the different topics. I chose the black death video because it seemed interesting.

Prairie Style- This video talks about Frank Lloyd Wright and the type of architecture he used in designing homes called prairie style. Prairie style uses parallel lines and low pitched over hanging roofs. He used open floor plans as well.
Architecture: The Science of Design- This video talks about the many different factors that come into play in architecture. There are many things that you have to pay attention to when designing and building structures especially skyscrapers. The weather, what is inside and what the building will be used for are all things that determine the design. It also talks about all the technology that goes into buildings and homes. Many things can be controlled electronically.
Both the videos and the text showed various different forms of architecture. The videos were able to show more visual details. The reason for choosing these two videos was because they were the first ones listed.

Mod 6 Vid Review
In the sculptor video it explained the many different processes that sculptor go through in order to create what they do. There are many different materials they can use to make their sculptures. Certain materials can serve certain purposes that the sculpture may be used.
In the glass and ceramics video it talked about the process on how glass is made and its uses in the world around us. There are many different steps in creating glass starting with silica sand. Ceramics are made mainly through the heating of clay. Glass is used in many different things around us.
The book explained the processes as well but there is only so much you can do in a book. The videos did what the book couldn't and showed us the processes.

For the most part the images used in the elements and principles project were very good. There were many different examples used to represent them all.
One painting that was used that was the same as one I used was The Marina Piccola. The reason we used it was the same. One painting someone used that interested me was called The Cliffs of Greville. It was a landscape like many of the pictures I used and I love the outdoors.
I thought reading my peers reflections was very helpful. It gives you different points of view and ideas that I may not have thought of.

Art Museum
1. Albert Bierstadt's painting called The Marina Piccola is my favorite work in the museum. I really like the way the sun shines off the water as well as the setting. It is on a beach with some rock cliffs on the side.
Another painting that had an impression on me was James Hart's Catskill Creek. It shows a small creek running through the woods. I love the outdoors and being in the woods. The outdoors have been a huge part of my life.
2. One work I felt a connection with was called Cory Arcangel. It is a picture of a MIG 29 fighter jet. I have always been very interested in planes especially fighter jets. Whenever there are airshows I always go.
Another work I felt a connection with was Robert Bakewells's Niagara Falls. I live not even 10 minutes from the falls. I spend alot of time in the Niagara River fishing and jet skiing. This painting connects with me in many ways.
3. One work I would like to know more about is The Shipwreck by Jean Henry d' Arles. I thought this was an interesting painting. It depicts a wrecked ship on some rocks in a bad storm. I would like to more about the ship that wrecked and maybe the people who were on it. Did they get caught in the storm?
I would also like to know more about Claude Monet's Chemin de Halage a Argenteuil. It is an interesting painting. I would like to know what place is depicted and why he did.
