2. I learned that the earth can be viewed as this huge sculpture. Noguchi created these sculptural gardens that's were beautiful. I learned about Noguchis personal life and how his father didn't even want to recognize him. He was close to his mother and she is the one who instilled in him an appreciation for Japanese gardens. I liked how he said an artist needs to be a dictator and shouldn't have to meet the requirements of a community, art has to do with the peculiarities that are hidden or the discovery and differences makes the art interesting. In the second video, I learned in order to transfer an image to a silk screen, you have to first enlarge it several times. Then the contrast can be heightened or turned down. You apply silk to a frame then place the image on it and add light. The screen is then rinsed in water, the black unexposed parts dissolve, the white parts hardened and you get a negative. Ink is then rubbed on screen and forces the ink thorough the screen to create a positive image. I also learned how obsessed Warhol was with celebrities and the whole concept of celebrity.
3. The first video related to the readings because chapter 23 examined different sculptural works. The video on Andy Warhol related to chapter 22 because it had a whole artists page on him.
4. I really liked the first video and how Noguchi viewed art. The second video was cool in that it showed how pop art is made. Any Warhol was a weird, yet interesting person.
