Module 9 video posts

I chose the two videos “The Power of Art: Caravaggio” and “Velazquez” once again at random selection to review them and answer the questions needed.
In the first video the key concept that was learned was that the context of Caravaggio's are was different, and as a person he was a heavy drinker. Labeled as a drunk.
he practiced the religion of christianity, and his art work reflected the religion in a very disturbing way.
In the second video, I learned that Velazquez was an artist for a lifetime because of his involvement with King Phillip the fourth.
In the text it was explained that Caravaggio was apart of the Baroque period. Velazquez and Caravaggio
was also compared to each other, and their art work were also compared to one another.
In my opinion these two videos were very entertaining to watch, they did not bore me and I learned a lot
about each artist in each of the films.

This means that it becomes something that is used in the everyday life. The videos relate to the readings in the text because in the text the history of architecture and how the structures of buildings, and designing came about. In my opinions I think these films were very informative and they were able to explain to viewers more in-depth about architecture, and the background behind it. I loved it because construction interests me so I love learning more about those things. I chose the films that I watched by random selection. I didn’t know what exactly they would be about but I am glad I picked the ones that I did because t...
