Renaissance

 

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

I chose the Michelangelo movie because I find him interesting and he is a very well-known artist.

I chose the Leonardo Da Vinci video because I wanted to know more about him and what he did.

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

The key concepts that I learned from the Michelangelo movie is that he was an amazing artist and he thought of things that no one at that time would think of.  Also it’s nice to see his drawing before he would do his final works and that it will also help art students and to give them an idea of what Michelangelo was thinking at the time.

The key concepts that I learned from Leonardo Da Vinci video is that he were a very smart and extraordinary person. His ideas were never ending. He was a painter musician, architect, military engineer, sculpture, anatomy and many other professions.  I never knew that he had himself in this many professions.

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. You can see how extraordinary Da Vinci was and how he sketched things in his books.

 

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

The films were good especially the Da Vinci one.  By seeing Da Vinci’s sketches in his books you can see that he was a thinker. He had so many ideas for so many different things.
