Buddhism and Hinduism

1. I selected the video on Buddhism and Hinduism because I know absolutely nothing on these two Religions or their impact on art and architecture.

2. In the video about Buddhism a key concept that I learned was how the religion has contributed to art, in both a symbolic and a story telling aspect.  In Buddhism the god has beautiful architectural building built telling the story of life and how fact and legend intertwine.  The developed a way to interpret wood techniques of art and architecture in stone carvings that are unbelievable mesmerizing.

In the video of Hinduism a key concept that I learned are all about the way art is incorporated into the massive structures of architecture.  The sculptures incorporated into the massive stone buildings are dedicated to a god and tell a story with each building about the god.  Everything about the religion is very symbolic and just emotionally drawing to a person.

3. The videos related to the text reading because in the text reading it touched on both of these religions.  However with the videos I got to see more pictures of the actual places that are built to practice the religions and see actually what they look like. 

4. I really liked the films. I really liked seeing where they were and how the way of life was with Buddhism and Hinduism.  I learned a lot about both religions and have a better understanding of why their buildings look the way they do and their art.  The art and architecture is very extraordinary in my opinion.
