1. Explain why you selected each of the TWO videos you choose from the selection listed above. I selected the videos Albrecht Durer and Velazquez to learn more the two artists and their history and art pieces.  2. For each video list/discuss the key concepts you learned. The videos on Albrecht and Velazquez hightlight famous artworks created by the two.  3. How do the videos relate to the readings in the text? Like the readings, the videos give you specific details on well known artists. 4. What is your opinion of the films? How do they add depth to understanding of the readings and art concepts? The videos are interesting because they discuss the artists, their backstories, and artistic methods that are also discussed in the textbook.

1. What was it like using your hand as subject matter for a drawing? It made the drawing feel more "personal" 2. What media did you select - pencil or charcoal? Why? I used a pencil because it was easier to erase mistakes. 3. How did it feel to create a drawing with your non-dominant hand? It was difficult drawing with my non-dominant hand ( right hand) because I can't really hold writing utensils with it.  4. Compare and contrast your final drawings. Do you think they are successful studies? I think the drawing of my right hand is more accurate than my left because I was able to be more careful with my left hand 5. Would you consider using your non-dominant hand to create artwork in the future? I probably would not use my non-dominant to create artwork unless I was going more for something that is abstract or messy. 

1. Explain why you selected the video you choose from the selection listed above. I chose to watch The Greek Awakening: Art From the 5th Century BC because I was interested in learning about art produced in ancient Greece.  2. For each video list/discuss the key concepts you learned. The video More Human Than Human focuses on how the human brain influences the creation and interpretation of art. The Greek Awakening focuses on how and why the Awakening happened, much of which could be related back to their religious beliefs.  3. How do the videos relate to the readings in the text? These videos, like the readings, talk a lot about the works of art from the past, and how art now has develped from it.  4. What is your opinion of the films? How do they add depth to understanding of the readings and art concepts? The videos make the reading from the text easier to understand. The videos give you a chance to learn concepts from a different perspective than offere...

1. For each video list/discuss the key concepts you learned. The videos, Architecture: The Science of Design and Frank Gehnry: Architecture as Art, dive into the elements and process of architecture  2. How do the videos relate to the readings in the text? Both the videos and readings go into the details and different concepts of architecture. While the textbooks supplies us with pictures, the videos are able to actually show us the process of architecture, such as designing a building.  3. What is your opinion of the films? How do they add depth to understanding of Architecture?  Both videos give you helpful visuals while they discuss architecture. They makes concepts easier to understand.  4. Why did you choose the films that you watched?  I chose these two videos because they seemed to be the most similiar to each other in terms of the concepts they discuss.

1. For each video list/discuss the key concepts you learned.  Both videos meant into in depth looks of the creation of sculputres, glass, and ceramics. The videos went deep into the technical process of each. 2. How do the videos relate to the readings in the text? The videos further expand the information given in the textbook. We get a visual sense of what the textbook is explaining. The videos can be helpful with helping to grasp what is difficult to understand in the textbook.  3. What is your opinion of the films? How do they add depth to understanding of the topics: Sculpture, Installation, and Craft? Both videos are very informative and give you visuals to what you're reading in the textbook. 

1.  http://jrempe8.blogspot.com/2018/09/the-process-for-creating-this-blog-was.html      https://artbyhannahp.blogspot.com 2.  When looking at Project #1: (Elements and Principles), did you agree with the element or principle the artist listed with the images? Did you see other elements and principles in the images? I could not access either one of their projects.  3.  When looking at Project #2: Where there any images in the Peer Blogs the same as your own? If yes, what were they? Where the reasons the image was selected the same or different as your own?  4. Where there any images that your Peers selected that pique your interest now? If yes, what are they and what is your connection with them? What would you want to know about them? The second and third photo from Hannah's Art Gallery blog post stands out to me. I like the colors and 3d effect from the second photo. The third photo looks like there's is writing on the art piece that I can't...
