mod #9 videos

1. I selected my first video Albrecht Dürer: Image of a Master because I use to study the language of German and was interested in learning a little bit about a German artist. The second video I choose was Leonardo da Vinci: The Mind of the Renaissance since we here his name so much in this world I figured I could try to learn more about the man.

2. The things I learned in the first video was how Dürer was such a great artist when it came to the details such as aging, landscapes, and reflecting the mood in his works. While the second video I was surprised how versatile Leonardo really was from being a painter, drawer, inventor, and even a scientist for his time.

3. These videos are related back to the readings by further explain two peoples works that contributed to the time periods they were living in and the style of art created. Such as Dürer and his mood created in the paintings which gave the viewer a certain feeling when he/she looked at it.

4. Overall I like the use of videos in this class as they add more insight to the readings by giving more pictures and examples of the style of art created in the certain readings and art in those chapters. This helps us students get another view point of the type of art and why it is the way it is other than what we are told in the readings.
