Module 15 Video Blog

1. "Greenberg on Art Criticism: An Interview by T. J. Clark" is a video with TJ Clark interviewing Clement Greenberg about art critiquing. some key concepts that I learned is that when discussing art, outside influences like political views should not affect your objective views of the art and that writing about visual art is tougher than that of other media like books or music.

"Greenberg on Pollock: An Interview by T. J. Clark" is another interview with Clement Greenberg by TJ Clark, the topic being Jackson Pollock. Some key concepts I learned were that over the course of his life, Pollock move further and further from more traditional art to the kinds of "splatter" type art he is known for.

2.I think that these videos will help a lot in the next stage of the curator project, critiquing peer work. That is why I choose to watch these videos over the others. I picked up a lot of idea I hadn't previously thought about that I will put to use shortly on that project.

3.I think that these two films, especially "Greenberg on Art Criticism: An Interview by T. J. Clark" give a tremendous amount of insight into understanding art criticism and I look forward to putting that insight to use.
