1. For each video list/discuss the key concepts you learned.

-Olmec masks and objects were used
-Teotihuacan means City of the Gods in Nahuatl

2. What is your opinion of the films? How do they add depth to understanding of the readings and art concepts?
I thought the videos were very helpful and informative for the development of creating a mask. Th videos provided evidence, cultural history, and background about how masks influenced cultures. Some cultures practices traditions such as girl initiations that were used with masks. I thought the videos helped me gain insight on the purpose masks can hold.
