1. Explain why you selected each of the TWO videos you choose from the selection listed above.
I typically choose the first video of each selection (in this case, The Drawings of Michelangelo) because it might be at the top for a reason. So, I picked the first and last video for my selection. I'm not sure what the second video I chose is about (Velazquez) but it seems interesting. They also are the two shortest videos of the group.
2. For each video list/discuss the key concepts you learned.
The Drawings of Michelangelo:
Drawings come from rough sketches to full complete works
Cross hatching
Lots of repeated strokes
More lines bring out the structure moe
His drawings had to be turned into larger scale models
Us charcoal dust to recreate images
Thoughts on the death of Christ reflected some works
Velazquez:
He was born in 1593
Two major trips to Italy
Tells the truth in all of his artwork
Keeps flaws in his work
2. How do the videos relate to the readings in the text?
The Michelangelo video relates because there is a whole section based on him and his artwork. Both of these people were from the Renaissance era. They talk about how artists like these created their work during this time. Things such as drawings, sculptures oils on canvas etc...
3. What is your opinion of the films? How do they add depth to understanding of the readings and art concepts?
My opinion of the films is that they were not as interesting as I thought they would be. I liked the Drawings by Michelangelo one, but it was long and dull. The Velazquez video was boring and I did not like it. I should have picked a different video but I watched it anyways. It helps add depth to the texts by talking about lines and how they created their work.
