Questions and Topics for Your Blog Posting:
1. Explain why you selected each of the TWO videos you choose from the selection listed above.
2. For each video list/discuss the key concepts you learned.
2. How do the videos relate to the readings in the text?
3. What is your opinion of the films? How do they add depth to understanding of the readings and art concepts?
1. I picked the videos Expressionism, and Dada and Surrealism because I wanted to learn more about what vibes paintings give off and how they do so. I wanted to learn more about different forms of art and its effect on the viewers outlook on certain pieces.
2. Expression is used in many forms in a painting. Things like someones eyes can reveal certain feeling, or coloring like black white and red, meaning sorrow innocence and passion. In an artwork called nude with a cat a artist used globs of paint to exaggerate the mood. Color is a huge part of expressing emotion. Colors have the effect to make people feel a certain way and is just another way to express the artwork and what vibe it gives off. In the video Dada and Surrealism I learned that artwork comes together with choices, like where to place an object or how to place it. When you let your mind go and just go with your creative flow, your art piece will come together how its suppose to. Schwitters’ artwork showed us that when you look up close to a piece of work that you are able to see the transformation of it all, but when you stand back and look at the whole piece you can see it as a whole and the artwork will look in a way "different".
3.The videos relate to the reading by telling us exactly what Expressionism Dada and Surrealism is and giving us wordy details about them. The videos are able to give us less detail and more examples to relate to what exactly is being described. To be able to see what colors in a painting does to the viewers opinion on the painting is easier to understand and relate than just reading about it.
4. Although the films were kinda blah, they were helpful being able to connect the details in reading to the actual meaning of what was being described. I liked being able to see multiple paintings and art works and connect them. Also while being shown the artwork, it was helpful to know what exactly was going on and how the artwork was created. Knowing the thought process of each artwork makes it ten times easier to understand whats going on and why it was done.
