1.I chose to watch Leonard da Vinci: The Mind of the
Renaissance because I have heard of Leonardo da Vinci and I thought that it
would be interesting to learn more about someone that I had already heard
of. He contributed a lot of
knowledge to a lot of different areas of study and it was interesting to learn
more about that, as well as learning about da Vinci himself outside of his
works and contributions.
I
also watched The Drawings of Michelangelo because I had heard of Michelangelo
as well and am familiar with some of his works such as the Statue of
David. It was interesting to see
the entire process from sketch to sculpture because it shows how much time and
thought go in to the entire process.
2. The Leonardo
da Vinci video went in to an in depth look at da Vinci’s life, such as at age
20 he was accepted in to the painter’s guild. His creative imagination was a new inspiration, and
sometimes he would go for hours or even days thinking about a painting without
even picking up a brush. I thought
that was an important fact because it shows just how creative his mind was and
how long it took to build up an idea that was worth putting in to creation.
The Drawings of Michelangelo video explained that The
British Museum contains more than 90 drawings by Michelangelo alone, and while
it draws numerous viewers his works were hidden when they were first
created. The video reflected the
creativity and process the artist had to go through in order to achieve great
results.
3. As usual the videos enhanced the readings and added to
the material that was being taught.
It helps the viewer to understand what is being taught and what
information needs to be retained.
4. I thought
the films were informative and helped me to learn more about the artists and
how they created the works they did.
The videos help to make the readings in the text more clear because you
can actually visualize what is being talked about.
