#1. I chose the videos, The Power of Art: Caravaggio and El Greco: Rediscovering a Master because in elementary and middle school I learned about Michelangelo and Leonardo Da Vinci. I have not learned about the two videos I chose before so I decided to learn something new.
#2. Key Concepts
The Power of Art: Caravaggio:
-He was considered the great predecessor of modernism
-He had an interest in controversial counter(reformation in pictorial art)
-One of Spain's greatest painters
-Other artists were inspired by his work
El Greco: Rediscovering a Master:
-Painted "The Calling of St. Matthew"
-Used people off the street as models in the Here and Now
-To society his paintings were indecent
-"The Death of the Virgin Mary"
-1608 he was announced the greatest painter out of all
-"The Beheading of John the Baptist"
#3. The videos and the text talked about religion during the Renaissance. How some of the artists portrayed their views on religion in an evil way and some portrayed it as a holy way. The text also talks about how many other artists viewed religion.
#4. I liked the films because two of the artists I knew about, and the other two I had no idea about and probably would never if I hadn't watched the videos. The video talked about their life and what they accomplished during their time.
