In the first video, “Greenberg on Art Criticism: An interview by T.J Clark. In this video the topic was mainly about the evolution of art criticism and the issues on modernist painting. As well as Greenberg’s career and his place in many aspects. The second video “An introduction to the Italian Renaissance” in this video it shows how artists developed their techniques and  images that represent the Romans influence on the Renaissance of art. The third video, “The Critics: Stories from the Inside Pages” the film focused on the journey that Dr. Dwight went through in order to answer a specific question. The result was a look at criticism as an art form. Lastly in “The Colonial Encounter: Views of Non-Western Art and Culture, the film focused on the 1900 World’s Fair. That was the time that promoted the celebration of different ethnicity. Numerous photographs, posters, and clips from renowned art historians all around the world.  

All fours videos relate to my Art criticism project. These videos have a connection to what I have done because it gave an outline to show what the process is when giving criticism.

My opinions on the films were they were very interesting. They made my understanding of the project and its importance in many ways. The films all had great information which was easy to follow by and it gave me an outline as to what I could do with my project.

In creating my exibition slide show I thought of Italy and how beautiful it is. Italy is a place that I always wanted to visit and I have plans on visiting some day. So this inspired me to create this slideshow.
I began looking up italian art and beautiful places in italy that I would like to visit and the food and wine that the italians drink and eat. I also done my reserach to do a little background informantion as well.
I also looked up the artist that drew these paintings that I found to get a little history about them and their motives. All in all, this project was a good one because it taught me a lot and made my project come to life.
