1. I chose two videos and they were " Abstract Expressionism and pop : Art of the 50's and 60's " and " The Power of Art : Rothko ". The reason i chose these two videos is because of the titles and they seemed like they would be complete opposites from each other. Also from the readings i thought that they would relate to the text more.

2. The first video Abstract Expressionism was mainly about Franz Klein who is an artist that spoke a lot throughout his art work.When you watch this videos the narrator explains to you that sometimes the title isn't what you actually see on the painting but its about what you feel when you look at it. The second video i watched, The power of art , was about this artist named Rothko and it was about how he grew and became and artist. Rothko was all about art and the power of art . Rothko said that He believed that art could change the world . He had many beliefs about art and the ways people look at it and follow it , " A picture lives by companionship expanding and quickening in the eyes of the sensitive observer ." When i read this it is saying that the painting can be whatever you want it to be its up to you.

3. The videos and and the text related to each other. They both talk about the emotion of an artist and art. Also, it said that the time nd cercomestances that, that artist is in can be reasons for their paintings.

4.The videos really opened my eyes up to art and artist. Also the videos really do support the text, it made learning better and easier to understand.
