Module 12

1.I chose Abstract Expressionism and Pop art of the 50's and 60's and Andy Warhol because this was more of the time I was born.  Most of art that we have been studying has been involving artist from many many years ago before our time.It was interesting or I could relate more to the era.
2. In the first film I watched I did not know that melted bees was is used by Jasper John, over newspaper when creatinng The Flag painting, and there is so much abstract and colors in the paintings shown, by Helen Frankenhaler and William de Koonins; his painting Morning the Spring which he can relate his Long Island home.  I also realized that Rauschenber and Warhol brought Hollywood to our view with their silk screening and I did not know that Andy Warhol played a major role in silk screening and commercial illustrations or that he was the first artist to bring Marily Monroe and Liz Taylor enormous head shots to us.Taking this pictures  and enlarging them beyond extreme made him famous and it was brilliant for advertising. There are many steps to silkscreening I was not aware of. Andy Warhol was able to meet many famous icons from Hollywood which is very interesting.
3. Making mass  production of objects and images in the Pop culture relates well in the textbook and videos. Explaining about Andy Warhol and how he brought so many paintings to life is pretty much very similar.  The abstract generation and its artists have a definate connection with the films also.
4. Like I mentioned before I was able to relate to these videos more that others. From the ones that I chose were familar that I have seen them while growing up. There is a better understanding from the commercialized and mass production that occurred during this time especially from the silk screening aspect of it.
