Spanish art and Dada and Surrealism

1. I choose the videos on Spanish art and Dada and Surrealism because they give a true look into the mindset of the artist and the time period. They have a much darker but more real view on the life of the time. The art works created where that similar only to that possibly of the dark ages.
2. For the Spanish video is was shocking to see how many famous artist came out of the same era and place people such as Pablo Picasso and Dali to be living and creating works of art in the same time is amazing. Also its impressive to see the outside influences of the world on their works such as influences from France. For the video on Dada and Surrealism it was clear the darkness of the works of art. They were meant to demonstrate the grim realities often faced by everyone in life.
3. The video about Spanish art was good at furthering the understanding of how art in that area developed off of one another. Such as great artist being learned under by other future great artist. It demonstrated how the art forms in that area would develop and lead into Surrealism in other European areas.
4. I enjoyed both films and found them to be beneficial in deeping my understanding of each concept in place. However I believe the video on Surrealism could have been better put together it didn't flow together each section made it harder to see the links between them rather than having clear lines between the styles.
