Module 11

1. Explain why you selected each of the TWO videos you choose from the selection listed above.

I choose expressionism and cubism for my two videos to watch this week because I wanted to further my understanding of both.  Also, they seemed most interesting out of the selection.  

2. For each video list/discuss the key concepts you learned.

Cubism:

• abstract and end with real objects we can recognize 
• early 20th-century
• different shapes used
• many different view points to this concept
• non-classical way of expressing form 

Expressionism:

• colors used to express emotion
• contemporary neo-expressionism
• problematic relationship between man and women
• tells a story/shows emotion
• helps if you know some history about the time period of the art

2. How do the videos relate to the readings in the text?

These add further understanding to what we read in the chapters and also add more information to the concepts learning.  

3. What is your opinion of the films? How do they add depth to understanding of the readings and art concepts

Long videos like these are sometimes hard to pay attention to and sometimes the voices make it harder but otherwise these were interesting films.  They provided more information and different visuals for us to see. It interesting to watch the narrator talk about certain pieces and break down their meaning.
