Module 12 video review

Questions and Topics for Your Blog Posting:

1. Explain why you selected each of the TWO videos you choose from the selection listed above. I chose Modernity and art and also Abstract art of the 50’s and 60’s  I chose these two because I wanted to see the relation between modern art and how the differences of art were of the 50’s and 60’s due to old school movies and cars like 50 and 60’s chevy classics and the Fonz era  thought this would be interesting. 
2. For each video list/discuss the key concepts you learned.  For Modern Art video they explained how the future of art is unpredictable.  One big key concept they said that abstract art is experimental and it is up to a person what they decipher.  Expressing ones vision is morally challenging and can be interpreted in many different aspects.  When now in our days digital imaging is used it brings a sort of fake ideal or image to life instead of referring to drawing and imagination of realism. 

For abstract art of the 50 and 60’s this is where the use of colors put the imagination to work and creations were being pushed into art. On the spot gestures and imagination entwined and made a balance for artists.  Action and cartoon art was formed into abstract art just like the Campbell’s well known soup cans created by Warhols.  A household name put together to make art.  We see art every day in our kitchen we just take it for

 

2. How do the videos relate to the readings in the text?  It confirms and supports how art has evolved from early centuries to now.  Starting back from the Roman empire till now evolvement has exceeded our expectations and our whole world is made of art.  Using colors broadens and expands the imagination to bring forth new images or even to combine images to make a unique abstract that is loved and wanted by many..  when combining unions of fluid shapes and solid shapes  when combined can show how easy it is to create art that is unrecognizable to what the true piece is to be. 

3. What is your opinion of the films? How do they add depth to understanding of the readings and art concepts?   The films help expand my mind to acknowledge art and how it can become alive.  Even though something is taken that can be of simple color or abstract it can be brought to life with imagination and colors to show the true meaning of what was meant through the artist.
