#1. I
chose videos that were based on artists I know nothing about. I’ve learned
about artists such as Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci but El Greco and
Caravaggio were artists I haven’t heard of and would like to know more about.
#2. Key
Concepts
Video #1.
El Greco: Rediscovering a Master
-One of
Spain’s greatest painters
-Had an
interest in controversial counter- reformation in pictorial art
-Considered
the great predecessor of the modernism
- He
respected and established norms without sacrificing style
-Other
artists were inspired by his work
- Most
genuine of Spanish artists
Video #2.
The Power of Art: Caravaggio
-Painted the
here and now and used people off the street for models
- “The
Calling of St. Matthew”
- Society
considered his paintings indecent
-“The Death
of the Virgin Mary”
- Went in to
hiding
- In 1608 he
was proclaimed one of the greatest of all painters
- “The
Beheading of John the Baptist”
- Ultimately
died a miserable death
#3. The
videos talked a lot about the artist’s views on religion during the time of the
renaissance. The artists expressed their view on religion and some showed it in
holy way and some in an evil way. The book also talks about religious views
during the renaissance of several other artists.
#4. The
videos opened me up to other artists I would most likely never learn about. The
book usually talks about very well-known artists like Michelangelo. So I wanted
to learned about other artists views and works.
