2. How do the videos relate to the readings in the text?
In my opinion, I always prefer to watch something to learn about it, so when we read and I get to watch a video to learn more, I like it.

3. What is your opinion of the films? How do they add depth to understanding of the readings and art concepts?
I always enjoy taking the little facts from the videos and putting them in my understandings from the reading.
