1.
Explain why you selected each of the TWO videos you choose from
the selection listed above.
Abstract Expressionism and pop:
Art of the 50s and 60s- I chose this video because I really seem to have a hard
time connecting with abstract art.
Andy Warhol: Images of an Image –
I chose this video because of things in an earlier piqued my interest in Andy,
mainly because his art is things that I recognize.
2.
For each video list/discuss the key concepts you learned.
Warhol was a lot more
complicated the he lead on. For example in his work the Ten Lizes. It is based
on the same image, but each of the image is different in each instance, additionally
it is such a large painting that you are forced to move around, because of the
type of paint that is used it changes depending on the light that reflects off
of it.
For the abstract painting to me I
learned that you just paint what you feel, and because it is a completely objective
thing you could have 50 paintings of the same thing look different because the
emotions are attached to a particular artist.
3.
How do the videos relate to the readings in the text?
It shows a technique that is
commonly used and described in the book but is shows that it is not limited to
just these techniques. Andy Warhol used the unpredictability of silk screening
to his advantage whereas others may think of things as mistakes he did not.
4. What is your opinion of the
films? How do they add depth to understanding of the readings and art concepts?
I thought the information given in the films was very
informative but in the end it did not get me to understand abstract painting
any more than I did before which may be exactly what it is which is whatever you
make it.
