I chose the two videos listed below because they were two names that I heard throughout middle school as well high school. These two names are very popular among the artistic world, and I fell that I can learn something new each time I see or hear more.
Leonardo da Vinci: The Mind of the Renaissance
-Leonardo masters perspective and proportion of man and animals, becomes a good architect, and draws from life. He indulges in the "exploration of the true."
-At the age of twenty, Leonardo is accepted into the painters' guild, and his creative imagination serves the pomp of the Medici court which helped him build towards more in his career
-Leonardo spends many hours, sometimes days, thinking about his painting without picking up a brush
The Drawings of Michelangelo
-Michelangelo taught himself to sculpt
-"David" is the first colossal marble sculpture to be carved in Italy since antiquity
- Many surviving drawings show the artist's preparation work for his greatest, but most difficult work.
The videos and the text relate in the sense that the videos go more in depth where you can actually see the artist and their life in a glimpse. You are in no way getting into grave details, but you can at least see what it is that they are most known for.
I thought the films were ok. I mean they get the point across of what they want their audience to know. In my opinion there is no way in which someone can talk for an hour about these gentlemen and make the whole thing interesting and great to watch. I found myself having to take a break here and there to get through the videos.
