Buddhism and Hinduism
1. Explain why you selected each of the TWO videos you choose from the selection listed above.
Because in high school we learned a lot in my history classes about these religions. I have good background knowledge about these topics in art and history.
2. For each video list/discuss the key concepts you learned.
Buddhism: Bodh Gaya is the site of 3 Religions but most importantly where buddhism developed. The Great Stupa Sanchi shows great symbolism towards Buddhism and enlightenment. All over the world relics of Buddhism lay and are represented upon.
Hinduism: The cities of Varanasi, Mamallapuram and Khajuraho all represent the religions architectural influence. Cave art can be found in old Hindu temples. The Religion supports many different gods that all serve a certain purpose.
2. How do the videos relate to the readings in the text?
Compared to the readings the go over a lot about the religions history ad how their whole way of life in India is shaped because of the religions and around the world.
3. What is your opinion of the films? How do they add depth to understanding of the readings and art concepts?
I feel that the videos expanded my knowledge as they showed the temples and city life examples. It gave me a better look at how life shaped out to be because of their histories
