2. The
answer to this question is yes and no. The first video I watched, which was
with T.J. Clark was the criticism of art and invaluable to the creation of my
project. The second video was not so much related to art criticism because it
was more on people’s prejudices of non-western art and not just base criticism.
3. I
personally enjoyed the films and the added material they provided for the
understanding of the material. The videos cover the parts of art criticism that
we need and it is good supplementary material. It helped add depth to art
criticism because of, especially, the first video. It was a video exactly on
what I needed to complete project 5.
