Module 15 Video Blog

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.
