BBC Documentary- How Art Made the World



I am a person who always wanted to know the origin of everything. For example, when working on maths, if i don't know why this affect that, than i would be very frustrated~~! And later on, I choosed to work with Art. And starting to wonder about the Origin of Arts.

Borrowed the DVD from company's library. But Disc 1 is lost and replaced by some other cd (oh~ people!) The show was presented by Dr Nigel Spivey from Cambridge University, Producer: Mark Hedgecoe. Dr Nigel has the charm in Tv, and they really plan the flow and visual really well.

The most important concept i've learnt: How the story telling works for the Kings and rulers in the past, and how death and fear works for the ruller/religion to dominate, why do people tend to make the icon of death surrounding us, how death motivates soldiers to sacrifice themselves for the greater good and so on. Many psychological test, research were done. Ideas that goes in depth but represented in simple and understandable way that everyone could understand. For those who are always wondering the origins of everything and why, this is a show which helps to open up the scale of your vision, truly inspiring!
