1. The video " The measure of All Things : Greek Art and the Human Figure" stood out to me because the first video i watched was about detailed depiction and sculpturing so when i looked at the second video titles this videos title made me believe that hess to videos were similar so i chose that video. 

2. In the first video , " More Human than Human " I learned many key concepts. The main concept of the video was that when there was a sculpture of a person back in the ancient times, the features on the body were over exaggerated and were completely different than their real body parts.The nomadic way of depicting the body was 2 dimensional, this showed the angle it was drawn in and it showed each body part.

 The second video " The measure of all things : Greek art and the human figure " had many key concepts that i learned. The main key concept that i learned was how involved and transformed sculpting came from back in the ancient greek days. The sculptures in greece were like a goal god like person that everyone perceived to be. So these sculptures are what they wanna look like and be. 

3. The readings and the videos both relate because they both explain how sculptures were illustrated to create sculptures of the perfect looking human. Like if you were a king or queen everyone wanted to be you cause you were so high up.Another thing they both explain is that sculptures are sometimes based off personal preference.

4. The films definitely help explain and show in more detailed of the evolution of the human body.It went from exaggeration and not at all like the person the were trying to sculpt to creating sculptures to everything is that exact detail.
