This was a very interesting documentary as the terracotta warriors where a very different and uninteresting way of immortalizing the human form and soul. As they talk about human sacrifice within the China ancient period, though they did not agree with it. So they must have used sculpture as a new form of sacrifice or immortilization of the human form, as they saw death as a new form of life or beginning.




Chinoiserie:  Chinese Influence on European Art
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmBaKKNIFN0

This video wasn't the most interesting of the others, as it was more of a slide show with a voice over. Though I did enjoy learning the relevance to the influences on European culture. As well as seeing how they showed the same key factors of, story telling, fine detail, and history been shown through there paintings and vase works. Which I thought was interesting as it reminded me of how the Greeks used ceramics to show history and legends.
