Module 12

  1)   I chose the videos the Power of Art, Rothko and Hockney on Photography.  I was not aware of them or their influence on art so I wanted to check them out as modern artists. And always looking for ways to improve my photography.

  2)   The main focus of Hockney was how to use photos as a tool to produce pictures and art pieces. His use of multiple frames to produce a full size art piece was unique and very interesting. 
        Rothko took his art to a new level, producing pieces that were in need of discovery and study by the viewer to appreciate.  His stance against painting the murals for the Four Seasons restaurant gave him credibility and was a stand against the popular and excepted desire for patrons.

  3)   The videos were an extension of the concept of modern art, showing how the artists were trying to break out of the molds that they felt were harnessing them.


 4)  Both videos were interesting to view and gave incite to the working and mindset of the artists.  The works that they produced obviously had a great impact on the art world opened the doors to many artists as they seek acceptance of their own works.
