I have never been able to wrap my head around art, and therefore have never been a fan of it. You see, I have always seen stuff like math and music as reflections or explanations of nature, and art simply did not fit the mold. I therefore assumed it was just made up and pointless.
However, this video has me thinking in a slightly new light. What you're basically saying is that Art is a reflection or explanation of human culture throughout the times, not aimed at explaining nature, rather explaining how humans understood and interacted with nature and science at the time. I never looked at it like that.
Ignore the haters in the comments. This video was well done, direct to the point, and thought provoking. Especially when trying to understand how we've arrived at the point we are today in regards to the cultural impacts of religion.
Thanks for the vid

Actually, iconographic references (like the Ichthus fish) were employed by early Christians to identify themselves as Christians to other Christians rather than as an act of reverence. This was to hide their faith to avoid persecution by the Roman authorities.

Brief but richly illustrated comment - a good start, which is probably what it is meant to be. BUT modern English uses they instead of he or she, using she is just pandering to puerile political correctness.

art: creative work that visually communicates meaning through representation or arrangement of visual elements.
wouldn't then any form of writing be considered art? a logo? a stop sign?

the geometric and iconoclastic art forms of representing the divine in Islam grew from contact with the byzantine empire. it's neat to see how art inspires and evolves over time

A lot of unwarranted negative comments on this video. I think it did a brilliant job of encapsulating a vast topic into a short video.
