module 10 Blog review

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

The videos I decided to do this week was African Art : Legacy Of Oppression and African Art. I decided on these videos because i've always been interested in African art and I don't think it gets the recognition that it deserves so thought theses videos would of been a great set for me to watch this week.

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

The key concepts that I've learned from the African Art video would be that African Art was unknown to the European's until the 19th century and that they had a lack of understanding  when it came to African Art. Another thing I learned figure scupltures are primarily found in west Africa , in other regions of Africa artist express themselves through making mask.

The African art : legacy of oppression  spoke about how the artist of central African gloried their mothers and motherhood and the “ Chiefness of their Chief” there was a statue of the chief and a sword coming out his mouth and in the video they said it represented the strength of his word. I also learned that Belgium's Tervuren Museum contains the world's largest collection of Central African art.

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

Both videos discussed mask and the history of African art and what the mask may have represent which was also discussed in the text.

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

I loved both of the videos I felt a bit of a connection to these videos and it kind of gave me a better insight of my culture and what their art represent. The videos gives you a sense of appreciation for the art and what it stands

blog review Module 9

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

i chose the drawings of michelangelo because i always been fond of him and his work, i also chose leonardo video as well because of the same thing 

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

Michelangelo , during his time his painting were kept away so people wouldnt see it but now a serious art student can see them.it took him 2 years to complete the statue of david , it was the first collossal marble sculpture since Antiquity

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

 both videos are discussing the arts each individual made and the themes . Leonardo artwork always included elements of reality and were realistic in their appearance. Michel Angelo drew all his life but destroyed most of his own drawing because they showed his unwillingness.

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

i love them. because i loved those artist. it also made me understand them and the art they made

this was a dumb assignment because i know im only able to use one hand which is my right hand. i already dont know how to draw so it just made things worse .

2. What media did you select - pencil or charcoal? Why?

pencil because thats all i had 

3. How did it feel to create a drawing with your non-dominant hand?

it was hard and i knew it would be because i can barely hold a pen with it 

4. Compare and contrast your final drawings. Do you think they are successful studies?

 i knew what the outcome was going to be because i barely know how to hold my pen .
