Module 11 - Video Review

This week, I watched the videos “Expressionism” and “Dada and Surrealism” because I wanted to learn different facts and concepts during this time period. I always wanted to understand how art was specifically tied into Expressionism and developed throughout this time about these time period and how art was incorporated and evolved during this time.

Also, from watching both of the films I want to learn how art was impacted during these two periods.

The key concept that I learned from watching Expressionism is that melancholy painted between 1892 and 93’ is another intense exploration of an inner state of mind which is a great example of art that arose during Expressionism and that it impacted many different art forms such as paintings, sculptures, film, and music

The key concepts learned from watching Dada and Surrealism is that the Dada Movement was born as a reaction to World War I and I also learned that Dada flourished primarily in Switzerland, New York City and Berlin in the 20th century

 The videos related to the text by they both introduced the time periods and how art has evolved during these two time periods. The video and texts also helped to tie in what impacted these two periods and how that affected artists and their creations.

 I enjoyed watching both of the films because I was able to choose what I wanted to learn more about.
