Video Reviews

Video #1: Pollock 
1. Some key concepts from this video are, that Pollock was a very controversial painter. Some critics thought he would be very successful, while others were not so sure. Pollack wanted to create art that was somewhere between 'the canvas and the mural' meaning it was both moveable and permanent. 
2. Yes this relates to my art criticism project because it gives examples of ways that people critique art, and that people have differing opinions of pieces.

3. I liked this film. I enjoy Pollock's work, and have seen many of his paintings in person, so I found the video helpful, and interesting. 


Video #2: The Critics
1. Some key concepts from this video are, that artists often wonder what the purpose of critics are and that critics offer up a unique perspective to make viewers think about the art in a new way. Critics are supposed to help improve art, in this case movies/films, and help the public understand art in a new way.
2. Yes this does relate because it explains the function of critics, and how to critique art.
3. I liked this film, it explained the function of critics, helped define what it means to be a critic and explored the world of critics.


CriticismVideo #3: Greenberg on Art
1. Some key concepts are, that is difficult to write about visual art. Critics must be well informed and relevant in order to properly critique. After WWII there was a cultural boom, and lots of new art was created.
2. Yes this relates because it is another opinion about art critics, and what their job is in society.
3. I liked this video, it made sense of a lot of things about critics and what their function is in the art world. It also talked about the culture boom after the war, and I found that to be very interesting.
