Week Fifteen - Video Review Blog

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

The key concepts I learned on Greenberg on art criticism an interview by T.J. Clark video is Greenberg believes that writing on the subject of visual art is more difficult than writing on the subject of music and literature. Greenberg also states that the best criticism he read is music from Tovey and whenever he wants to bring his sprit up he reads Tovey work to help remember to stay relevant.

The key concepts I learned for the critic’s stories from the inside pages video is Method man expressed himself saying there is no use for critics and they were only helpful for his first album when they exposed it. People like Tom Moon discusses what makes a good critic which is when someone reads what you have to say and you inspire them to go and listen to the song  or read that book you have talked about. David Sterritt is another who discusses what makes a good critic when he says a good critic gives you fresh ideas and gives you a fresh way of looking at things.

2. Do the videos relate to the creation of your Art Criticism project? If yes, explain how. If no, explain why not.

These videos that I’ve chosen do relate to our art criticism project because both videos talk about how people view and feel about critics and our project is Criticizing one of our fellow peers. The videos are our guides which will help us complete the project.

3. What is your opinion of the films? Do they add depth to understanding of art criticism?

The videos do give me a great understanding of art criticism; they show me what makes a good critic and what should be the person reaction to our criticism. According to the videos good criticism is helping the reader come up with new ideas and motivating others to see what you criticize if I can do this then hopefully I can do a good job on the project.
