Module 8


 From the list of videos I chose "The Measure of All Things: Greek Art and the Human Figure" just because I had watched the first few minutes of it and it interested me. In "More Human Than Human" I learned about animals and how they have attractions to specific things.

Overall, these films were interesting to watch and it was cool to compare them to each other to notices their similarities, and differences

This means that it becomes something that is used in the everyday life. The videos relate to the readings in the text because in the text the history of architecture and how the structures of buildings, and designing came about.

I loved it because construction interests me so I love learning more about those things. I chose the films that I watched by random selection. I didn’t know what exactly they would be about but I am glad I picked the ones that I did because t...
