1. The first video I chose was called
Jackson Pollock: Michael Fried and T.J. Clark in Conservatism. It
talks about how Michael Fried and T.J. Clark try to find common
ground when discussing Jackson Pollock's paintings. It talks about
the history of each piece and what both people feel when looking at
them. Michael Fired believed that Jackson Pollock tried to paint
pictorial elements while T.J. Clark believed he tried to paint with
an experimental subject matter. The second video I chose was called
The Colonial Encounter: Views of Non-Western Art and
Culture. This film talks about
the Western opinion has changed art from different cultures. It has
made certain art unpopular in the West, and has effected how the
world views it.
2. The
videos helped me with my Art Criticism paper because they helped me
analyze the subject matter of each picture in the PowerPoint. It
helped me look beyond the main points of the painting. The movies
brought me deeper into each piece instead of just scratching the
surface.
3. I
enjoyed Jackson Pollock: Michael Fried and T.J. Clark in
Conservatism, and The
Colonial Encounter: Views of Non-Western Art and Culture because
they helped me view pieces that I normally wouldn't look at. This
helped me to critique each piece because they talked about pictures
from different time periods. There were plenty of those in the
PowerPoint that I chose to analyze, so these videos helped
tremendously.
