1.
Explain why you selected each of the
TWO videos you choose from the selection listed above. The two
videos I chose were “Albrecht Durer: Image of a Master” and “Velazquez.” I
chose these videos because they featured two lesser known renaissance artists
they I did not know very much about. Also, I liked that the two artists these
videos focused on were not Italian, in school they mostly focus on the Italian
Renaissance masters; it was nice to get another perspective.
2.
For each video list/discuss the key
concepts you learned. In the “Albrecht
Durer: Image of a Master” video I learned about the German renaissance artist Albrecht
Durer. He was responsible for bringing the art ideals of the Italian
Renaissance to Germany; he is also famous for his landscape painting and his
woodcut prints. In the “Velazquez” video I learned about the famous Spanish
renaissance artist Velazquez. He chronicled events in the life of his friend,
the king of Spain during that time, Phillip IV. He is considered one of the
greatest artists Spain has ever produced.
3.
How do the videos relate to the
readings in the text? The
videos tie into the textbook readings because they too talk about European
Renaissance artists and the ways Western art profoundly changed during this
time period.
4.
What is your opinion of the films?
How do they add depth to understanding of the readings and art concepts? I
enjoyed both videos. I liked that they focused on renaissance artists outside
of Italy and that they introduced me to two more really amazing artists and
their works.
