1. Explain why you selected each of the TWO videos you choose from the selection listed above.
I choose "The Impact of Cubism" and "Expressionism" purely out of interest because I wanted to learn more about the topics.
2. For each video list/discuss the key concepts you learned.
The Impact of Cubism
* That Cubism was Influenced by work such as Cezanne, African tribal art, and art of the Iberian peninsula; I had no idea!
* Cubism was the most influential type of art in the 20th century and gave European artists atypical, ways to represent form and space.
* How interesting the type of works are, like the 1st one called "the breakfast table" It has at 1st appearance nothing to do with that at all but then the narrator explains and with very careful examination you can see what they are saying.
Expressionism
* How paint was thinly applied, sometimes dripping off the canvas.
* That it was a growth of Fauvism
* How much the form of a woman changes
* How it emphasized color's emotional properties while yet it showed far less concern with the formal and structural composition of color.
2. How do the videos relate to the readings in the text?
They enrich it by explaining and showing the topics in a detail not doable by text alone. For Cubism I didn't really get it until I watched the video. I liked the other video as well it shows Expressionism in a way the text again can just not do justice to.
3. What is your opinion of the films? How do they add depth to understanding of the readings and art concepts?
As all of the videos this semester I really enjoyed them and they made me far more able to understand topics in the text then I was before able too.
