1. Explain why you selected each of the TWO videos you choose from the selection listed above.
The first video I chose was entitled Abstract Expressionism and Pop: Art of the 50's and 60's and I chose this one because it has the concept of Pop Art which I know for a fact that Andy Warhol was a famous American artist that did Pop Art a lot. The second video I chose was entitled The Power of Art: Rothko and I chose this one because I wanted to know more about the artist named Mark Rothko due to the fact that he was also an abstract expressionism artist (like Andy Warhol).
2. For each video list/discuss the key concepts you learned.
The key concepts in the video entitled Abstract Expressionism and Pop: Art of the 50's and 60's were Pop Art, Abstract Art and Figurative Art. The key concepts in the video entitled The Power of Art: Rothko were abstract paintings, black paintings, and his life
3. How do the videos relate to the readings in the text?
The videos relate to the text by explaining the concept Pop Art and having a biography section on Andy Warhol. The videos and the text also related by giving a definition of abstract expressionism as "lumping together a group of painters".
4. What is your opinion of the films? How do they add depth to understanding of the readings and art concepts?
My opinion towards the videos is that both of the videos showed a great deal of what abstract expressionism actually is. I liked the "Power of Art: Rothko" video because it shows his life.
