I chose "Expressionism" and "Dada and Surrealism". I chose the first video because I wanted to learn more about expressionism. I had heard of it before but I wasn't really familiar with it. The second video stuck out to me because I learned briefly about Dada in other classes, and considering it was a graphic design movement, I wanted to learn the history and more about it.
After watching the video, I think expressionism might be my favorite art movement. I've always enjoyed symbolism and deep meanings in books, movies, art, etc. and to see that there's a movement based around that really makes me want to learn more about it. The first work of art by Munch really stuck out to me. Its use of colors to represent emotions as well as the details such as the paint literally dripping down the canvas helped me fully understand the painting more. I look forward to investigating expressionism more and the other works and meanings behind them.
The second video provided me with insight on something I knew very little about. The most interesting thing I learned was, similar to expressionism, the symbolism behind the pictures used to create collages. Dada is different than other movements because it is known to have a more poignant and direct approach to the message its conveying. Overall, I liked the video but I'm going to study Dada a little more possibly to incorporate elements of it in my designs.
The videos relate to the readings because they cover all of the different art movements including Impressionism, Realism, Surrealism, Expressionism, and Cubism. The videos give a more in-depth analysis of each movement by showing more examples and providing the history.
As I stated, I enjoyed the videos. They were both very informative and gave me insight to each respective movement. For example, I never fully understood Dada when I first learned about it but the video gave me a clearer understanding of it.
