1. Explain why you selected each of the TWO videos you choose from the selection listed above.
I selected my two videos because they stood out to me among the others and I thought they would be the ones I'd enjoy learning about the most.
2. For each video list/discuss the key concepts you learned.
Matisse and Picasso - Matisse was like a father figure to Picasso and was thought of as the father of modern art as well. They surprisingly didn't like each other's paintings at first, but they loved to challenge each other and loved the power that came with it.
Expressionism - Expressionism is a specific style of art where the artist expresses emotion rather than pictures of the outside world. Bright colors and jagged lines are often used in these pieces to show different emotions.
2. How do the videos relate to the readings in the text?
Matisse and Picasso - The text goes more into detail on their specific pieces while the video almost focuses more on their relationship and how they eventually became good friends.
Expressionism - Both the video and text went into detail on specific paintings from the time period and explained the concept of the type of art.
3. What is your opinion of the films? How do they add depth to understanding of the readings and art concepts?
Matisse and Picasso - I enjoyed this video because it brought the concepts together and helped me get some background on the pieces that were created by them.
Expressionism - The video brought the concepts together because it went into detail on specific pieces from the time and discussed the reasoning behind them as well as the artist and some of their backstory.
