Expressionism

1. Explain why you selected each of the TWO videos you choose from the selection listed above.

I chose both of these films because I wanted to know more about them and both concepts were a huge part of the art world during the early 20^th century.

2. For each video list/discuss the key concepts you learned.

For the Cubism video it shows the major impact cubism had on the art world during the early 20^th century.  Famous works came of it like Juan Gris: The Breakfast Table or Picasso’s Les Demoiselle de Avignon.

For the Expressionism film it shows how expressionism took art to a whole other level.  Art and colors were used to express deep emotions. Like Edward Munch: Ashes or his other work The Scream. He did those works to show a very deep emotion and one of his exhibitions in Berlin was closed because people were outraged at his work. 

3. How do the videos relate to the readings in the text?

The videos help explain and show examples for the readings.  The video also goes more in depth and you can see visually how topics in the reading are depicted in real life.

4. What is your opinion of the films? How do they add depth to understanding of the readings and art concepts?

Both films were good they went in depth in explaining  both concepts , Cubism and Expressionism.  They showed examples of many works.
