Cubism and Expressionism

I have chosen the video on Expressionism because I do not know much about it and the use of color and the emotion of color intrigues me to learn more about it.

I also chose the video about the Impact of Cubism because the way an artist uses unfamiliar ways to represent form and space is very interesting. I wanted to see more examples and more explanation on its use.

In the video Expressionism, I learned how the key concepts of color were used to express different properties of a painting.  This video showed how artists used color to express feelings through pronounced lines, shape and proportion.

The video The Impact of Cubism showed me the concepts of Influential style and how an artist would use unfamiliar ways to represent form and space.

The videos related very well in my opinion to the reading of the text because the reading explained how or why expressionism and cubism came about but the videos showed a lot of art by different artists and how they incorporated the style into the artwork.  The video showed a deep connection to the style and who the artist was and how the thought of the specific style came about into their lives and threw their work.

I enjoyed the videos I found them to be very in-depth on the artwork, style, and period. I really liked how the video explained artwork, what the artist was thinking, and how their lives affected the artwork as well.  The videos and text reading also explained a lot about the periods, which also gave me a understanding of the art concepts used in the art work as well.
