1. Explain why you selected each of the TWO videos you choose from the selection listed above
I chose the two videos "African Art: Legacy of Oppression" and "African Art". I was interested in learning more about African Art.
2. For each video list/discuss the key concepts you learned.
The key concepts that I have learned watching "African Art: Legacy of Oppression" would be that Belgium's Tervuren Museum contains the world's largest collection of Central African art. Pieces have also traveled. The pieces show that the artist created magical work that represented the mother land, and powerful meanings to allow outsiders to be able to understand, relate, and feel the story behind their work. 
The key concepts that I have learned watching "African Art" would be that African Art was unknown to the European's until the 19th century. They had a lack of understanding African Art. 
2. How do the videos relate to the readings in the text?
Both of the videos relate to the readings because they give us a break down of detailed work of artist and their pieces. 
3. What is your opinion of the films? How do they add depth to understanding of the readings and art concepts?
My opinion of the films would be that I was very happy to see the way the artist put emotion/personal feelings into their work. The videos add depth to understanding the readings and art concepts by allowing us to see in movement the art in museums and hear more about the work created. Watching a video allows me to have a better understanding rather than just reading a text.
