Module 11 Blog Review

1. The videos i chose were " Expressionism " and " They Mystical North : Spanish Art from the 19th Century to the present " i chose these videos because after reading the assigned chapters in the text , it spoke a lot about artist expressing themselves through their work and i thought that these two videos would help give deeper meaning and give more illustration to what it means to express through ones work .

2. The first video " Expressionism " They spoke a lot about how various used their feelings and experiences and applied them to their art pieces .  For instance , the artist munch and his work piece " Ashes " it was explained to have burning passion because of the red hair and flames and how it also hinted into having a " sexual relationship " between the man and women painted in the art piece . In the art piece " Scream " which is one of the most famous among the art pieces , the artist explained that he was walking and felt a " scream " through the night and that is what inspired him to paint it .

The second video " The Mystical North : Spanish Art from the 19th century to the present " it touched a lot on the evolution and inspiration of Spanish art and how Spanish art has influenced other artist . This video touched on a few artist like Goya, Picasso and Dolly . Picasso was one of the artist who was greatly inspired by Spanish Art. According to the video Picasso had his first sexual encounter in Barcelona and it inspired many of his later works . The narrator spoke of how the art museum that was created by Picasso was to be his " Confession Chamber. "

3. The videos definitely relate to the text because both the reading and the videos show how artist express themselves through their artwork how various emotions and life experiences can affect the way an art piece can come out or even make others feel .

4. I think the films added great depth to the videos and it gave me a chance to understand more art pieces and how to possibly look at piece and try to feel and determine what the artist was feeling .
