Since I enjoy many forms of art I
found it difficult to pick only two films, however because I also enjoy compromising
decided to view only two films, they were: The Drawings of Michelangelo and The
Power of Art: Carravaggio. The reason
why I chose the two films is related to the readings from the chapter and the
interest that generated because of them.
The Drawing of Michelangelo
A lot of information was able to be
retained by watching this film in regards to the intelligence and talent Michelangelo
had. Specifically, I was amazed that he
was so talented with only one or two materials.
When I viewed at his drawings I was amazed that this were done prior to
any modern technological developments and are still interesting to look at
after the many years that have passed.
Moreover, I the lesson that I was able to learn that had the most
prominence was how Michelangelo used his artwork as way to deliver messages or
communicate his thoughts without any verbalization, extremely fascinating.
The Power of Art: Carravaggio
This film was amazing, the works of
art that were done by Carravaggio are very realistic and convey the sense that
it must take an extreme amount of talent and energy to do the type of work he
has done. Also, I was able to comprehend
how some of his works of art implemented religious characteristics into
them. This speaks volumes because of the
era of history in which he lived, it also construes the thought that this
structure of living was common and influenced his creativity,
Each video related to text in a suitable
fashion, however with these specific chapters I was able to gain a better
understanding of the era’s and types of art that was created from the
films. They gave me an ideal perspective
on the specific lives of each artist and the period of history in which they
lived. During the films I constantly
kept thinking about what it must have been like to live during this period of
history as well to walk amongst the artists that were popular then, and even
currently. Lastly, I thought the films
were awesome; I really enjoy learning about things that are not in my curriculum
because they always astonish me. Also,
the films were able to give me a better appreciation for history in a more specific
sense rather than the general theme we were all taught as juveniles.
