Andy Warhol: Images of an Image
The Art of Henry Moore
1. Explain why you selected each of the TWO videos you choose from the selection listed above.
Andy Warhol video: I've always been interested in Andy Warhol because of his Campbell Soup painting. He is very different and I want to learn more about him.
Henry Moore video: I am not really sure why I chose this video. I guess I just wanted to learn more about him.
2. For each video list/discuss the key concepts you learned.
Andy Warhol video- the video talks about the Pop Art movement and life of Andy Warhol. He began by photographing his friends and then later filmed them. Then he added paint to his silk screening. Also, the many different faces of Liz Taylor was interesting to me how they all seemed to be different, but they all have her face to preserve the identity of Liz.
Henry Moore video- this video talked about the works of Henry Moore. It showed the sculptures of wounded warriors that he had done from a pebble he had found. He said "One must try to find a synthesis, to come to terms with opposite qualities".
3. How do the videos relate to the readings in the text?
The videos really didn't relate to the text besides the fact that they discussed artwork from the time period post WWII and how the artists were changed by it.
4. What is your opinion of the films? How do they add depth to understanding of the readings and art concepts?
I learned more about these two artists and they were very helpful in providing examples of their artwork. The videos put more images in my mind regarding the text. I am more of a visual learner so watching the videos usually helps what I read in the text sink in.
