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

I chose the Warhol film because I went to Albright Knox art gallery and he was the exhibit and I want to learn more about him.

I chose the Uncertainty film because I wanted to know more about it.

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

For the Warhol film I like how they made screen printing and the process of it.  Warhol used a lot of screen printing.  The Liz screen was used for many years. Warhol like using screen printing because it helped for mass producing works.

For the Uncertainty: modernity and Art film. It talks about the uncertainty in art how people view the different pieces of work and how that’s changed like in Picasso’s Les Demoiselles d'Avignon and how the people in the painting are represented using corners and different shapes for the bodies, but the viewer still knows what Picasso is trying to represent.  

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?

I really like the film especially the Warhol film. I liked the fact that he likes doing his works on famous people.  The films added depth to understanding the readings and art concepts you get to see the works that go with the reading.
