1. Explain why you selected each of the TWO videos you choose from the selection listed above.
I selected each of this videos because the titles interested me.
2. For each video list/discuss the key concepts you learned.
The key concepts I learned from watching Abstract Expressionism and Pop was that in the 50s and 60s artist started viewing art differently. People were not use to seeing art this way and it was not welcomed as pop art was.
The key concepts I learned from watching Hockney on Photography was that David Hockney was not only a talented painter but also very gifted in photography. This film take you through a journey on how he was able to transform his skill into being a photographer.
3. How did the videos relate to the readings.
The video Abstract Expressionism and Pop relates to the reading because both topics are discussed in the text. the book defines expressionism as and art movement to the 20th century, which claimed the right to distort visual appearances to express psychological or emotion states. This is exactly what the film showed and gave man examples of.
The video Hockney on Photography relates to the reading because there is an entire chapter dedicated to photography in the text. This film shows one mans journey and the text explains how how photography is a work of art.
3. What is your opinion of the films? How do they add depth to understanding of the readings and art concepts?
i thought both of the films were educationally interesting. Its nice to have a understanding of the history of art and where it came from. These films gave me a deeper understanding a different area of art. The add depth to the readings because the give a more detailed explanation of the topic.
