module 7

1. I chose the videos 'Architecture: Science of Design' and the 'Last Call for Planet Earth: Sustainable Development and Architecture'. The key concepts in the first video mentioned it that I learned that wind effects skyscrapers while I thought this was always a myth. I found out that buildings over 100 stories tall can sway back and forth up to one meter. In the second video mentioned, I learned that buildings have an involvement with the environment more than I would have ever thought. This is shown by the idea that buildings are sometimes designed a certain way just to get more sunlight, or are designed more narrow to reduce cross ventilation.

2.These videos relate to the text because they all discuss the structural systems in architecture. They then both go through the different forms of architecture such as concrete, cable-stayed, steel frame and balloon framed. Also, the text gives information on Frank Lloyd Wright and I see there is a video about him as well. The text and the videos discuss new technologies that have advanced throughout time as well.

3. My opinion on these videos are the same as any other video we have watched. They are both very informational and interesting to watch. I thought it was very cool how much of a role the environment around us interferes with architecture. These videos add to the understanding of architecture because they are very detailed and they are thorough in the ideas being presented to teach the viewer all that goes into creating a building.

4. I chose these films because I saw that the first video I chose was about the science of architecture and I knew it would be interesting to hear how much strategizing goes into the process of a building. I chose the second video because I saw that it was about nature. I didn't know what the video would even talk about because I didn't realize there were so many environmental factors that went into buildings. I definitely was surprised!

module 12

I chose 'Art of the 50's and 60's' and 'Uncertainty: Modernity and Art' because I love everything about the 50 and 60's era and am hoping the modernity video is about how art has expanded. 2. In 'Art of the 50's and 60's' I learned that many comic book characters are put together in the same way and viewed the same way. Also, I learned how to dissect a photo to better understand how a portrait was put together in the way that it was. In 'Modernity and Art' I learned that modern art is very hard to interpret and many people wish it wasn't. I realized that there is a lot of emotion behind the random strokes in a painting and nothing is meaningless. I always asked myself why I couldn't be famous for splatter painting on a canvas but I now see there is a lot of heavy detail behind the randomness of artwork. 3. These videos relate to the text because they both explain the many fine details that make or break the artwork and the...

module 11

1. I selected 'Matisse and Picasso' because I wanted to learn more about the famous artists that they are. I never knew much about them and was eager to find out. I also chose 'Expressionism' because it seemed interesting and was hoping it would teach me how artists chose the expressions on their artwork and what they meant behind them. 2. In 'Matisse and Picasso' I learned that Matisse and Picasso were both very different. I learned that Picasso added a lot to his works. He would come back everyday and restart on his painting, adding something new every time. In 'Expressionism', I learned that artists emphasized emotion to tell a story in their artworks. There were sad emotions expressed to signify death and to give details to the audience when looking at the artwork. 3. The videos relate to the reading in the text because they both give us reasons and ways that artists connect with their audience. 4. My opinion of these films were mixed throughou...

module 16-reflections of AED 200

1. My expectations of this class was to learn more about the background of art and these expectation were beyond met. I learned more than I thought I would which is great! 2. In my first post I said art is a from of creativity and a way to express oneself. I still believe in this but I also want to add that art isn't just about opinion and how the artist views things. The artist will gear towards a certain audience and actually leave out their personal opinions of the artwork and put aside their feelings in one's work. 3. Vincent Van Gogh was my favorite artist and now it is Claude Monet. Monet is my favorite because I have seen many of his painting of flowers in fields and the texture look of his art makes it even better. 4. I love online courses! My view on them are the same from the beginning because I knew it would take more self discipline but I love it! I learned a lot doing everything on my own.
