Module 11

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

I chose to watch “Dada and Surrealism,” and “The Impact of Cubism.”  I chose these videos because they sparked my interest and who doesn't want to watch a video that will interest them? 

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

In “Dada and Surrealism,” it discusses the Dada movement.  The video showed how it changed into Surrealism.  This affected a change in the artwork of this time.  In “The Impact of Cubism,” it was interesting to me how Cubism influenced Europe.  It showed how there were different ways were offered to represent form and space. 

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

The videos both gave me a better understanding of what I had read in the text.  It showed things in a visual sense for me and it also provided me with further knowledge and information.  I learned things that I hadn't known before.

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

I always enjoy watching the films.  I like being able to choose which ones I can watch and which ones may spark my interest.  It furthers my understanding of what I had read before.
