Module 10 Video review

1. The reason I chose to watch "The Impact of Cubism" and "Dada and Surrealism" is because both the titles had caught my attention and I wanted to learn more as to what they were describing with the titles.
2. In the video "Dada and Surrealism" I learned that Dada was a form of artwork that was very free. One of the first "dada" artists was Schwitters. Schwitters did make art before he started making this new type of artwork, but it wasn't until then that he really became known.
In the video "The Impact of Cubism" I learned that Picasso was one of the famous artists that really took to this new style and helped it spread amongst society. I also learned how the use of shapes can portray different ideas in our minds.

3. The video "Dada and Surrealism" connects to the book because the book describes "dada" as a "yes" to life, creativity and silliness and spontaneousness. The video talks about the meaning of the word in similar contexts and uses artworks by people such as Juan Miro to show the creativity in this style.
The video "The impact of cubism" relates to the reading because they both mention Picasso's artwork and the role he had in the growing use of cubism in art.

4. I liked both of the videos I watched, even though in some spots they were harder to follow. Both of the videos made connections that were related to the reading with significant artists names which really helped show how much the did in their time.

Module 2

Key Concepts: After watching the videos and doing the reading I learned that art is constantly evolving. The ideas of influential change and they tend to change the ideas in which people view art and understand it. Though this is not talked about in the videos or reading, music interest changes over time as does other forms of art such as, painting, poetry, and plays. The change on art aesthetics changed and continues to change over time. Another topic discussed is how our brains are able to distinguish things in art even though they are 2 dimensional. Our brains allows us to read into what we are seeing and develop an understanding of it. Lastly a key concept also talked about is the use of color to please the eye and allow it to look like it is 3 dimensional when we look at it. This allows us to look deeper into it, as talked about in the video, symmetry is also used to do this. Morris Weitz "what I am arguing then, is that the very expansive, adventurous character of ar...

Module 9

Module 9. Question 1. Using my hand as the subject, I hand to look at it in deeper detail. Also keeping it steady and not moving it to much in order to keep the same view was difficult. Question 2. For this project I chose pencil. This was because I knew I was going to struggle while using my left hand and it would be easier to erase multiple times. Question 3. It felt awkward using my left hand. I felt like finding even the most comfortable way to hold it was very challenging during it. I did like how I drew lighter because i wasnt able to push down as much. Question 4. I think they are successful, each in their own ways. Using my left hand was difficult but I was still able to work towards the detail I was able to add with my right hand. Question 5. Yes, Though a struggle for me, I see where I could gain while making art if I give something a go with my left hand. Something unintentional could happen but lead me in a new direction and bring success.

Once I began taking just a couple pictures, I couldn't put my phone down and looking at things in different ways. When doing this project I allowed myself to look at the things around me with an open and free mind and photograph a lot of the everyday things around me that represent the definitions. This project was one that truly allowed me to free my mind and look at everyday things I see in a more creative and expressing way. During this project m...
