Expressionism

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

I've heard of expressionism before, so that's something that has always interested me. The second video I've never heard of so I thought I'd give it a shot and see if it's something I was interested in.

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

Dada- I didn't know much about surrealism before watching this video, but from what I took away from the video is that surrealism is the creative nature of the unconscious mind, basically using one's imagination to create art.

Expressionism- In this video, I learned the importance of color. Color is the one thing that sticks out to people. When they walk into a gallery, it's usually color that catch's one's attention.

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

The videos have similar information, but the videos gave many more visuals that helped me truly understand the concepts. 

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

These videos certainly weren't my favorite. They seemed a little old, however it was nice to have lots of visuals to enhance the concepts taught.
