Module 15- videos

The Critics-

1- I learned that the word Criticism helps open up a work, so that people see it in a different way. The music, tv and book critics play a role in peoples everyday lives when watching tv, reading or listening to music. Since mass media influences the population, this video gets us to think of what the critics value and message they are sending. Music that catches our attention is the critic trying to express their opinion or feelings to the world. An in depth look at criticism as an art form, the various ways that renowned critics began their careers and intellect with which all professional critics must approach their own work.
2- This video does not relate to my art criticism project due to it not relating to mass media production. Critics do use love in books, music and on television which gives artists ideas.
3- I liked this film, I thought it was cool to hear Method Man’s opinion on how he feels about critics. I also liked how it showed and talked about different artists, television shows, plays and books.
Greenberg on Pollock
1. Clement Greenberg talks about Jason Pollock’s career and his accomplishments through a interesting interview. Greenberg focuses on Pollock’s work from the mid 40s. He also considers Pollock as an outsider, whose techniques were considered “freakish” Pollock started his paintings on easel then to mural painting which was never materialized. Pollock felt alone in the art world and in the large world as well as Greenberg. Several museums bought Pollock’s paintings but he remained a solitary figure.
2. This video did not relate to my art project theme. I did not include any pictures of Pollock’s because I did not see any that related to love.
3. I thought this video was very dull and hard to listen to. I liked learning about Jason Pollock’s amazing career and his accomplishments as an artist.
