1. Explain why you selected each of the TWO videos you choose from the selection listed above.
I chose the Andy Warhol: Images of an Image and Uncertainty:Modernity and Art because I thought they would be the most interesting, and the least time consuming. I thought that would be the easiest ones to understand.  
2. For each video list/discuss the key concepts you learned.
Andy Warhol: Images of an Image: Warhol put most paintings that he did in horizontal rows. Warhol did many images of real life events and things such as magazine articles and newspaper headlines. He used a lot of drama to do his artwork. I thought it was interesting how he did so many pictures of the Mona Lisa in one image. Did most of his work on canvas. In the second video Uncertainty:Modernity and Art: Some of the artists in Greece created idealized statues of themselves. They don't have to make cuts into the materials to make them sculpture, and the materials themselves can be made into sculpture.  The bricks were a phase of modern art. They didn't use much religion in their art. The video hit on how expressionism and pop art took over the modern art world. 
2. How do the videos relate to the readings in the text?
These videos both relate to the readings in the text because the book talks about Andy Warhol and his Pop art paintings. It also talks a lot about Modernity and art throughout the chapters. 
3. What is your opinion of the films? How do they add depth to understanding of the readings and art concepts?
I thought that the films were very interesting and they gave more insight into these topics than what I gained just from the book. I thought that the were a little long and dragged out but overall they were pretty interesting.
