Module Twelve - Blog: Video Review

1. Explain why you selected each of the TWO videos you choose from the selection listed above.
I chose Uncertainty: Modernity and Art along with Andy Warhol: Images of an Image because they seemed interesting to me.  I also like Andy Warhol ‘s art so I thought it would be interesting to see what this video was about.
2. For each video list/discuss the key concepts you learned.
In Uncertainty: Modernity and Art I learned that modern art is always changing with the changing world around us.  It keeps responding to modern life.  The modern world was based on speed and efficiency and mass production.  I was very surprised that Hitler also had influenced the changing of Modern Art.  All art is uncertainty.  As time changes, art is continuing to change with it.  Abstract and Pop Art are to me the most uncertain of all art. 
In Andy Warhol: Images of an Image I enjoyed watching about Andy Warhol.  It was interesting to learn that he did the Marilyn pictures on silkscreen.  I liked how he made reproductions of photographs or newspaper articles in silkscreen.  I loved watching how you make a silkscreen copy of a photograph.  It is so fascinating!  I think that one reason I like Andy Warhol’s work is because it is of things/people that I am familiar with.  Things that I know and things that I have seen.  So to see these things in a different way, through the eye of someone else artistically changing the image, fascinates me. 
2. How do the videos relate to the readings in the text?
The videos add to and expand on what we have read in the text.  A definite complement to the text.
3. What is your opinion of the films? How do they add depth to understanding of the readings and art concepts?

The films are interesting and great!  They add to what I have read so that I can get a better understanding about what it is that I am learning in the chapters.  I enjoy them!
