1. Explain why you selected each of the TWO videos you choose from the selection listed above.
I chose "Expressionism" and "The Impact of Cubism" I selected each video because the title of the film caught my eye and instantly it made me want to watch it to learn more about the background. 
2. For each video list/discuss the key concepts you learned.
The key concepts that I have learned while watching "Expressionism" was understanding every piece in a museum has a beautiful meaning behind it, even if work does not look like it has a meaning at all. Seeing that living human beings were used quite a bit in the artists art work, was amazing, the work was very detailed and stood out. The artist went for a style and stuck to it. By the colors being exaggerated to show more emotion, and the clothing and speaker allowing us to understand the break down and meaning of each piece, the facial expressions will allow every audience to feel a powerful moment behind the art work. 
The key concepts that I have learned while watching "The Impact of Cubism" was that cubism was the most influential style of the early 20s. New ways were made to show form and space. Each piece shown had a style that took off from meaning one or two things to combining it into one and becoming a whole. 
2. How do the videos relate to the readings in the text?
The videos relate to the text because they go in full detail about the importance and break down steps to show us the meaning behind many artists work. 
3. What is your opinion of the films? How do they add depth to understanding of the readings and art concepts?
My opinion of the films would be that they both show that artist loved to bring art and life together. They add depth to understanding the readings and art concept because they went so into detail which allowed us to watch different scenarios of what is already there for us to read but show us examples with a background speaker to better understand the purpose.
