1.) I chose the Drawings of Michelangelo because I think he was an amazing artist. I think it is interesting getting to know more about him and his artwork.
I also chose Albrecht Durer: Image of a Master, mainly for the last part. "Image of a Master caught my attention and I wanted to know more about what it particularly meant by Master.
2.)For the first video the key concepts were mainly what Michelangelo's points were in creating his artwork drawings, and sculptures. Many of these being of naked men. Michelangelo used the human body, and the "twisted body" to express so much artistic expression. He had a whole design laid out for his Dome he was creating. Which was such an amazing inspiration. They even used an actual human to try and reenact one of his Adam and God painting. The way the form of the body was in the drawing was impossible for the human man to actually create is perfectly. A lot of this video was showing the process of how the artwork was created on the ceiling of Michelangelo's Dome. It is incredible work and created with such detailed work.
The second video Image of a Master it was talking about the artist Albrecht Durer and his life as an artist. He had a interest in showing works of art involving aging. He also tends to paint himself, in a way of finding out who he really is. Usually with serious faces. After traveling to Italy, he ended up having the beautiful landscape of the Alps in the back of his paintings. He ended up becoming well known for his landscape and was one of the first Landscape artists in Europe.
3.) Both videos relate to the reading, by explaining the different artists artwork, and drawings. The history and accomplishments through the years of the artists. How the paintings and drawings were inspirational at that time in history.
4.) I think these films give me more of an idea of what it was like creating artwork back then. Gave me some idea of how they got their inspiration and how they were created. Also about their life and how different it was being an artist back then. Also, how to this day there are still artwork around the world from these artists.
