week 11 videos

Greenber on Art Criticism- This video compared art and music criticism, I found it very interesting and learned that it is easier to interpret music because the artists feelings seem to radiate from the song itself, whereas with art you have to interpret it on your own subjectively. This is helpful to the art criticism project because it teaches me that I have to do more than just look at the art, I have to search for the meaning or aspects that are interesting.

Renaissance- This video talked about how artists in the renaissance developed as they did because they studied the artists that were great before them and learned from them. This is helpful to our portrait project because we can draw insipration from artists for our self portrait.

Jackson Pollock- This video talked about Pollock's work and how he was a master painter, but also how his art shows a low point in modern art. This video showed exactly how art criticism works, some people might think one thing, while others think the opposite. This was helpful to our project in showing how critics have viewed things in the past.
