Abstract Expressionism and Pop: Art of the '50s & '60s

1. I picked this video because it sounded interesting.

2. Key concepts are like Franz Kline said abstract art has a title but the title is there to warn you to not think about what the painting shows but to think and feel what the painting is. For abstract artist's it is hard to find where to stop in a piece of art work. Abstract is an experiment and the artist paint until they either just settle it to be done or they feel that they can't go any further with the piece of art work.

3. This video relates to the text because it gives more information on abstract pieces of art work then the book.

4. I liked this video. This video added depth because it expanded on abstract. It gave you a better understanding.

Andy Warhol: Images of an Image

1. I picked this video because Andy Warhol is interesting. I first saw his work in the Albright Knox Art Gallery and the painting was just a bunch of campbell soup cans and I was like what is this.

2. Key concepts of this video are Andy Warhol was a man of talent. He did silk screening, photographs, films, and self portraits. He worked for magazines and thats where he got is inspiration for his work. He would take pieces of adds and blow them up and make them into pieces of art. He didn't want his presence in his art work, his art work was depersonalized. He wanted you to see the actual object or the person for themselves.

3. This video relates to the reading because it expands on Andy Warhol's life and career as an artist.

4. I liked this film. It added  depth to understanding of the reading by explaining who Andy Warhol was and what was the meaning behind his art work, what was his purpose.
