1. Explain why you selected each of the TWO videos you choose from the selection listed above.
I selected the videos because of the length of time, actually. To be completely honest, I absorb more from shorter videos. I get bored quickly with long ones, and none of them really caught my eye this week, so I went for length of time, to try to get as much out of them as I could.

2. For each video list/discuss the key concepts you learned.
Albrecht Durer: Image of a Master
Albrecht Dürer, arguably the greatest artist of the Northern Renaissance, was the primary conduit through whom Italian Renaissance forms and ideas were introduced into a Germany still dominated by the Gothic tradition. And, Martin Luther proudly presented 4 apostles painting, 2 of them with their own writings to the Nuremburg council.
Velázquez
A portrait of the extraordinary painter who chronicled the life and times of his friend King Philip the Fourth, who built the core of the Prado collection (which today houses almost all of his work), and who, with El Greco, Goya, and Picasso, comprises the quartet of the greatest painters of Spain. And Elas invenderas, was a mannerist piece, about the myth of Manerva and Iraqni. Dispute between the human and the goddess. Who could weave the finer cloth, The jealous Goddess Manerva transformed her into a spider and condemning her to an eternity of weaving.

2. How do the videos relate to the readings in the text?
Both videos show a lot of specific examples of art in Europe. Artists during the Renaissance and Boroque times inspired many artists in the future. Much art is based off of Renaissance styles since it was the time of “rebirth”, when art and architecture were coming out much greater during these times.

3.
What is your opinion of the films? How do they add depth to understanding of
the readings and art concepts?
Both videos, although short were very, very hard to pay attention to. Usually I don’t mind relaxing and watching a few videos for classes, but these in particular were very dry. I can’t say I learned much, it made me go back to the book a lot to try and understand things, which is okay, as long as I learned something from this week. Regardless, they were still very educational, and not all of them can be fun and interesting.
