I selected these two videos for personal reasons. I love African Art and wish I more of an opportunity to look in to my Nigerian heritage. I also have studied Buddhism religion and find that I agree and naturally follow a lot of the beliefs that they have. So I have come to have a love and respect for their art as well.
One of the interesting things I learned from the African Art video is that the drawing of the animals was sometimes to show appreciation to the spirits of the animals that they killed for food. African art are a mix of magic and religion. In the video on Buddhism it showed the great dedication to detail the builders must have taken in order to make such masterpieces that gave step by step images of the Buddhas life.
The videos are the most frustrating things to watch. They are narrated by the most painfully slow speakers and are unnecessarily long.
