1. Explain why you selected each of the TWO videos you choose from the selection listed above.
Uncertainty: Modernity and Art: I selected this video because I wanted to learn more about modern art, how it's done and how it has changed the way we make and perceive art.
Abstract Expressionism and Pop: Art of the '50s and '60s: I chose this video because I wanted to learn more about "Pop art" and how it came to be.
2. For each video list/discuss the key concepts you learned.
Uncertainty: Modernity and Art: This video shows how art has changed from the past to our modern time. It shows how artists in the past tried to show what they believed humans should look like and today artists try to obtain an emotional feeling from the viewer of the art. I also learned how Nazi, national socialist, Germany tried to eradicate modern art's uncertainties.
Abstract Expressionism and Pop: Art of the '50s and '60s: The documentary talks about how this style of art was created by the joining of attitudes in American art and European avant-garde art but was rejected and replaced by Pop art. The film went through some artist such as Franz Kline, who focused on color in some of his abstract paintings.
2. How do the videos relate to the readings in the text?
I believe the text are a simple summary of what the 2 videos talked about. The text and video talks about modern art and some of the famous artists which represent the pop style of art.
3. What is your opinion of the films? How do they add depth to understanding of the readings and art concepts?
They both increased my knowledge on the topics. I believe the text gave a better understanding because it gave a quick general summary of what both of the videos talk about. I liked Franz Kline work a lot because of how he's work does not make much logical sense but it will make different people see different things depending on how they view it.
