1. For each video list/discuss the key concepts you learned.
I chose to watch 'Greenberg on Pollack: an interview by TJ Clark,' & 'An Introduction to Italian Renaissance.' In the first video, it was an art critic & historian discussing Jackson Pollock's methods to his art & the legacy he left behind. The art critic, Clement Greenburg, had the opportunity to be in one of his studios. He talks about different transistions throughout the galleries which he didn't really find appealing. In the second video, it discusses how art was criticized. The techniques that were used critiqued how they illustrated their work, balance, realism, along with perspective.
2. Do the videos relate to the creation of your Art Criticism project? If yes, explain how. If no, explain why not?
The videos related to the creation of my project. They showed different critiquing techniques to very different artists as well as time periods in which the art was so different from each other. Our projects were a lot different but it helps after watching the videos to give me some ideas on what to do/write when critiquing.
3. What is your opinion of the films? Do they add depth to understanding of art criticism?
I thought the films helped my understanding. I always knew what criticism was but I know I always don't feel 100% comfortable criticizing someone's work when I'm not entirely sure on why their work is the way it is.
