Buddhism- Buddhism has always been something that is kind of interesting to me. I have not been a fan of African Art so I did not choose those videos. I felt that the chapter in the book about Buddhism was interesting and I wanted to learn more about it. I also enjoy architecture and this video explores it. Buddha's death can be looked at as the end of the Golden Age. The Buddha is not found on the Stoope in human form. He is symbolic. The detail in the railings are amazing but the Stoope itself is plain. This is an incredibly interesting video. It helps you to realize what the book was telling you. In the book it told us that Buddha was not to be created in human form after the death. Lotus is the sacred flower of Buddha.
I chose my second video Chinese Art: Treasures of the National Palace Museum because I want to see 5000 years of history. I love the detail on the pottery. Black glazed tea bowls helped to show the paleness of the tea. The perfumer is absolutely stunning. I love the blue on white. It is distinctive of the Ming. Maha Rino Kahna Buddha down cast gaze shows compassion for all. The texture and detail in the curls of the hair are really interesting to look at. I like how only one piece is shown at a time. It allows the watcher to really focus on the piece. The video was to broken up for me. I like when they flow smoothly. The F394738 transition is making me not want to pay attention. The art they are showing is beautiful and interesting. It is a shame that the transitions are ruining this video for me.
