1. The first video that I chose was Surrealism and Dada. I found this to be very interesting because I love surreal paintings and I wanted to learn more.
2. That we might find things like string and cardboard in museums now a days. But there was a time when it was rare and innovative to use these materials. The Dada movement was born after World War I. Art can be made from found materials and recycled materials. 
3. This video relates to the text because we read about surrealism as well as about Dada this past week.
4. I loved this video. I think that it presented the ideas in a clear and concise manner. It was easy to understand and informative. 


1. The next video I chose was The Impact of Cubism. I wanted to watch this video because I do not know a lot about cubism and I was curious to know more.
2. Some key concepts from this video are that Picasso made Cubism 'famous'. But there are many other artists who use this technique. There is an emphasis on shape and space as opposed to color. Color can be monochromatic or use multiple colors. 
3. This relates to the text because we read about cubism this week in our textbook.
4. I thought that this video was very interesting and informative. It presented the information in an easy to understand way. It helped me grasp the ideals of this movement.
