1. Explain why you selected each of the FOUR videos you choose from the selection listed above.
Warhol: I like the Campbel's soup thing
Hockney..because none of the the others interested me
Uncertainty - the title sounded interesting
Henry Moore - I had to choose something
2. For each video list/discuss the key concepts you learned.
Moore beleived that the artist should not talk too often about his job because it released tension ( I assume artistic tension) I found this interesting since most folks want to talk about their jobs. I also like that he beleived that "art shows the falible, the human, variations from the perfect."
Uncertainty- Art is supposed to be an antidote to society.
Hockney- cubism was the first time pictures confused people
Warhol- did a set of several single cans as prints in addition to the one with 100 beefnoodle candles. I like the explination of the silkscreening process. We used to do this when I was a kid and I got a refressher on it.
3. How do the videos relate to the readings in the text?
I still get more out of the videos than the books
4. What is your opinion of the films? How do they add depth to understanding of the readings and art concepts?
I find the book difficult to distill anything from, the videos make it easier to understand
