Questions and Topics for Your Blog Posting:
1. Explain why you selected each of the TWO videos you choose from the
selection listed above.
I chose, “Andy Warhol: Images of an Image”, because my best friend has always been obsessed with Warhol’s work. I knew of a few pieces he had done, but I didn’t know anything about him as a person or how he got to the point he has. I was very curious about his history and motives.
I also chose, “Uncertainty: Modernity and Art”, because during the art gallery visit assignments, I always wondered about “modern art” and what the difference is to regular art.

2. For each video list/discuss the key concepts you learned.
Andy Warhol: his fascination with—and his indifference to—celebrities as objects no less commodified than a simple can of soup. Also, his use of the silk screen which gave him the ability to make several prints of art to meet his clients demand, where he could continue putting out art, and gaining more revenue.
Uncertainty: I did not know how the Nazis tried to eradicate modern art’s uncertainties with some crushing certainties of their own; and shows how modern art’s relationship with modern life changed.

2. How do the videos relate to the readings in the text?
The videos are a great way to understand the book information better. I am more of a visual learner, and seeing it and hearing it is much easier to take in information rather than just reading. I noticed the modernity of art was mentioned in both, and Andy Warhol is obviously a very well know artist everywhere.

3. What is your opinion of the films? How do they add depth to
understanding of the readings and art concepts?
The videos always help me understand information better, and I catch things in the videos that may not have been mentioned, or I passed by in the book readings.
