MODULE NINE

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

1.       The reason why I selected the video Drawing of Michelangelo is because he is one of the most famous artists in the world and I believed the video can give me new information about him. The reason I chose the other video named Albrecht’s Durer image of a master  is because I haven’t seen too many of his works and I believed this video would be the perfect opportunity.

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

1.       The concepts that I have learned for the drawing of Michelangelo video was Michelangelo was one who planned his art very carefully before he made the real thing. Michelangelo was ashamed of these sketches because he  was suppose to be the perfect artists, so what he did was destroy most of them so no one would find out about his flaws. This is why the British museum only has a small portion of his sketches. The concepts I learned for the Albrecht’s Durer image of a master was when he sketched or painted a person he was detailed on the ageing. He drew his mother young looking healthy, but in the old version of his mother he drew her with wrinkles all over the head, face and neck. 

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

1.       The videos relate to the readings in the text because they both have a variety of Michelangelo works. The book has his painting creation of Adam of Sistine Chapel and his sculpture David, while the video has his sketches. The book also has an ageing sculpture Donatello St. Mark while the video has Albreht painting of his master it had wrinkles but a younger version like middle aged.

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

1.       The video drawing of Michelangelo add depth to my understanding of art because it shows not even one of the greatest artists makes his masterpieces by rushing through. It takes time, patience and lots of practice attempts before your ready to make the real thing. The other video Albrecht’s Durer images of a master add depth to my understanding of art because he shows the aging process. In his art he paint and sketches from young to old and the older person is the more he adds more details on the face and skin.
