1. The two videos I chose were " Abstract Expressionism and pop : Art of the 50's and 60's " and " The Power of Art : Rothko " i chose these videos because based on their titles i thought they would be videos that were total opposites from one another and based of the readings from the text i assumed they would relate more to the ideas .
2. In the first video Abstract Expressionism they discussed mainly about an artist Franz Klein who spoke a lot through his art work . The narrator explained how a lot of abstract art piece titles may not look like its related to what was drawn/pained but it is more about what you feel when looking at an art piece rather than what you see. The narrator focused on a specific painting of Klein that supported the previous statement . He said , " it is almost as if the color was changing in response to our reactions ." In the second video , The power of art , they spoke a lot about an artist , Rothko, and his development as an artist . Rothko believed strongly in art and the power of art . He believed that art could change the world . Rothko had many beliefs about art and how it should be followed and looked at , " A picture lives by companionship expanding and quickening in the eyes of the sensitive observer ." To me this means the judgement and meaning of a piece is up to the observer at the end of the day .
3. The videos relate to the readings in the text in that they both speak about the emotion of the artist and art . How the things and environment that an artist may be facing at the time can effect the product that they put out .
4. I think the feels were very influential and opened my eyes to a lot of insight about artist . I think they supported the text in full details . it gave the text more understanding .
