4. What is your opinion of the films? How do they add depth to understanding the of the readings and key concepts?

My opinion for the video entitled Andy Warhol: Images of Image is that it did a good job talking about his life; it went in more detail of his life than the textbook itself. It help me understand the concept of silk screening used in Pop Art by photographs are blown up and developed onto silk screen, then transformed into paper and lastly ink and paint are used. For the video entitled Abstract Expressionism and Pop: Art of the '50 and '60's my opinion of this video is that is also did a good job because it shown me more artwork from the artist mentioned in the textbook. This video did not help me understand the readings and the key concepts because the readings for this part of the book were pretty straight forward, meaning it was very easy to understand.
