Video Review

1. I chose the videos Abstract Expressionism and Pop: Art of the ’50s and ’60s and The Power of Art: Rothko simply because they were the first two videos on the list.

2. Abstract Expressionism and Pop: Art of the ’50s and ’60s 
-Piling on paint to add detail
-Abstract art creates more attention
-Comic books as art

The Power of Art: Rothko
-Architecture
-Art is an escape root for artist
-Abstracts bring alot of power out in it 

3. The videos and the text relate to one another because the text give all the details and the knowledge that is needed to be know about the topic while the videos give a visual image about the topics.

4.The videos add a lot of depth to the readings because soeme people like I don't like to read and videos tend to be way more interesting.

1.For this moduele I picked The Mystical North: Spanish Art from the 19th Century to the Present and Expressionism. I those these video beacuse The Mystical North sounds like a video that probably wouldn't want to pick so I picked it and Expressionism sound of something I would pick.

-Northern Spain was importnant to modern art
-When Goya went deaf his artwork became dark

-Technique is ruff with the flow of paint/texture

3.The videos relate to the readings because theey give clear examples to whats was said in the readings. The videos give us anbother way of seeing what was taught.

4. The videos where long but they gave a lot of important information and some of it was very interesting.

Mask Making

I chose this mask as an example of fashion mask making. The facial expression on this mask shows how this mask is worn in theatre. The elements and principles shown in this mask are line, form and shape. The principles are unity and proportion.


I chose this mask because it different from the first one. This mask shows a diffenent type of fashion ans theatre. This mask also shows a little bit of culture of ying and yang. The element and principles that are shown in this mask are line, form, color. The prinicples are rythmn and unity.

Lastly, I chose this mask because it shows color into it. Its much different from the first two jmask but deffintley show the meaning of fashion and theatre. The elements shown in this mask is color, form, and value. The principles shown are proportion and emphasis.

I enjoyed making a mask of my own. The 3 masks that I have chosen have gave me great inspiration for my own, I took a little of each one of the mask to design mine. My mask has a little of me in it and has the fashion and theatre look also. My mask maybe simple but it has a lot of meaning. This mask has line, form, and texture. The principle showm in this mask is proportion, balance and unity.

Video Review

1. I chose Buddhism and African Art because they both have very interesting backgrouds and I've always wanted to know more about their history and getting knowledge on the art history is really nice to know.

2.Buddhism
-Began in India
-Shows the meaning of life
-Two types: Hiyanna & Mahayana
-Carving there teachings

African Art
-Power of symbolism is important
-Riturals are important in this culture
-Mask represent their King

3.The readings and the videos both match up, they both gave a lot of insite about Buddhism and African Art. The videos added more to what the text had to say.

4.It was great to learn more about the history of Buddhism, its a great culure to learn from and these videos gave a lot of important and useful infromation. Same thing goes for Africa art, these video helped me learn more about their art and I got to really see more like Mask, we got to see different ones and how they were made and what their meanings are.

Exploring Line

1. I enjoyed using my own hand as subject matter. It was different because when I do draw I have never used myself. I was a cool experience and I would would like to do it again.

2.The media that I chose to use is pencil. I chose pencil because I like pencil it gives me the better feeling that i am incontrol. I tend to find charcol a bit messy and when it starts to smudge too much i get fustrated.

3. I absoultly hated drawing with my left hand it was the most awkwardest think ever. I couldn't tell my hand what tob do, It was like my hand was it own person. The only thing that I could do right was the shadding of my tattoo on my wrist. I wouldn't try this again.

4. I do belive this is the best drawing of them all. My right hand drawing my hand was pretty decent but my left hand drawing my right was out of control.

5. No. But I kind of want to learn to control my left hand.

Video Review

1. I picked "The drawings of Michelangelo" because I've always wanted to know more about Michelanagelo and I like the name. I picked "Leonardo da Vinci: The Mind of the Renissance" because Leonardo da Vinci is one of the artist that I know a little about.

2. Key Concepts
The Drawings of Michelangelo
-He was a draftsmens and a creater
-His use of Cross-Hatching
-He taught himself sculting

Leonardo da Vinci
-Corrected Facial Proportions
-He always wanted his work to be perfect
-He was an inventor
-Also he was into music

3.The videos seem to always relate to the text because it give us as readers and viewers to see for ourselves. We get to almost seem like where there viewing the work. When younare reading the reading it is as like you hearing a story told from someone else but your weren't there. This was we get to see it from a diffenent persepective and also our own.

4.I actually enjoy the videos, even though there long there informational. And you get to see alot more "pictures" from when you reading the text, it most definetly adds depth.
