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.
