Video Reviews

1. Explain why you selected each of the TWO videos you choose from the selection listed above.
I chose the video The Impact of Cubism because I have always found this art form interesting to look at.  I chose the video Expressionism because I wanted to learn more about that movement.

2. For each video list/discuss the key concepts you learned.
For the video The Impact of Cubism, I learned that cubism is an art form unlike any other.  It was the most influential art movement of the 20th century.  This style was created by making use of simple geometric shapes, interlocking planes, and, later, collage.  For the video Expressionism, I learned that expressionism was a form used to depict emotions.  To do this the artist had to distort the painting radically in order to create the full emotional effect

2. How do the videos relate to the readings in the text?
Both of the videos relate to the text because they show more examples of each movement.  They also described how each of the examples fit into that art form. 

3. What is your opinion of the films? How do they add depth to understanding of the readings and art concepts?
I felt that both videos were interesting to watch because they each showed lots of art work to look at.  Most of those paintings I have never even heard of or seen before.  This helped to keep my attention for the whole video.  They also helped me understand how to spot each movement style with other pieces I might see later in life by how they described them.
