2. Do the videos relate to the creation of your Art Criticism project? If yes, explain how. If no, explain why not.-These videos really related to the art criticism project because many of them gave examples of how to view art and how to analyze it. They gave examples of how others view and look at art work and gave me a great understanding of how I should look at art work done by others.
3. What is your opinion of the films? Do they add depth to understanding of art criticism?
-I really enjoyed these videos. They were very beneficial and gave great examples for our next project. I was a little bit nervous on analyzing others exhibits but these videos gave me an understanding of what I would be doing and also showed me how to view others work. They added depth because they explained many artworks and argued/criticized many artworks. Great videos!
