Dance at the Moulin de la Galette

1. I picked this video because the title sounded fun:)

2. Key concepts of this video was it was a moment in time when once a week working people gathered at the Moulin de la Galette for dancing, drinking, and flirting. It was an all around good time for the middle class people. It is an impressionist painting.

3. The video relates to the reading because it only gives you the same information as the book but it expanded more in the video and for some reason when I look at a painting on video to me it just makes me feel that painting even more.

4. I loved this video and I love the painting. The video added depth because it played music and you felt like you were in that era and you were in that painting.

Expressionism

1. I picked this video because I love expressionsim art work. I like to feel art work, I want it to speak to me.

2. The key concepts of this video is expressionism is any style where the artist's subjective feelings take precedence over objective observation. I loved Edvard Munch's painting "After the Fall". It was about a problematic relationship between a man and a women. They used the colors black, white, and red to symbolize sorrow, innocence, and passion. You really felt that. Edvard Munch believed works of art should have suffer and love in them.

3. The video relates to the reading because it shows a ton more expressionism pieces of art to give you more examples to help give you a better understanding.

4. I liked this video. I liked seeing all the different piece of art. It added depth to your understanding by talking about more artist's and there works of art.
