FILM 12: Picasso/Braque/Glimcher

 

What is it about Picasso's artwork that catches your eye as a viewer? Even if you dont care for Picasso, you ALWAYS look twice.

FILM 13: Dali/Low

Is there anything about Dali's paintings that you find particularly interesting? What about especially disturbing? Explain...

FILM 11: Pollock/Evans

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AshzrYpazWI&feature=plcp

Do you consider this type of painting a 'work of art'? Do you think it is beautiful? Why?

FILM 11: Renoir&Degas/Marlow

 I apologize for misreading the Lesson for Week 4. I mislabeled the video numbers in my video blog posts.

Each of the paintings I have chosen is different. The first is static with a clear central object, yet the dancers all have their own importance in the second. Which do you find more aesthetically pleasing? Why?

Film 10: VanGogh/Schama

I apologize for the incorrect film numbers in the video blog post. I misread the Lesson for Week 4.

I have heard from many of my friends that Impressionist paintings, such as the one above, look messy and lose an element of beauty because of the roughness. Do you agree or disagree with them?

FILM 12: Impressionism/Collings

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8igk05enMWw&feature=plcp
Is there any significance to the painter being in the center of the painting? Is this narcissistic at all?

I apologize, I believe I misread this week's Lesson. I announced the wrong video numbers in my video blog posting.

FILM 9: Civilization/Collings

What type of event or artwork do YOU think will be something that marks our age on this Earth? Is it a positive thing to leave for later generations? Will we be looked down upon?

FILM 8: Goya/Hughes

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYf0w5gWBJM&feature=plcp

Do you think that Goya's ability to satirize royalty within his paintings was a gift/talent? Or do you think he was being genuine when he painted people falsely?

FILM 7: David/Schama

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09NnJqc6AbI&feature=plcp

What do you think about David's chosen themes in his paintings? Could they be considered Avant-garde for their day? Why or why not?

FILM 6: Rembrandt/Greenaway

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdET3pApmAI&feature=plcp

There seemed to be a lot of mystery packed into the video.....do you think that the visual elements within the film helped portray them? Also, do you think that is telling of the painting the video chose to focus on?

FILM 5: Caravaggio/Schama

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hi3i5XaL4S4&feature=plcp

Do you believe that the life Caravaggio lead discredits his paintings in any way? Is the level of his talent curtailed by his life choices?

FILM 4: Hockney/Knowledge

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8b0JxpkKJMY&feature=plcp

 

Do you believe that the effectiveness of Hockney's video relied heavily upon the incorporation of actual sites, such as Italy? Or do you think he was good enough of a storyteller on his own?
