Your videos are wonderful and very helpful. I am attempting to pass the Art CSET assessment to complete my Art teaching credential and these videos have been invaluable. Thank you!!
Great video, I love the way you spoke about the context that i didn't really know about. I think often about this painting and the more i come to understand it and its meaning, the more I come to despise it and the more it entices me to think about it. I think its sort of an enemy to me, and it compells me so deeply beacuse I have great admiration for its technical brilliance, and it uses that brilliance to represent everything I hate about gender roles, and the strenght of the patriarchy, as well as the strong sense of violence rooted in almost a blinding form of nationalism.
Hi Mrs Alder, I think your videos are great. Do you plan on coming back to do more of them? The world would certainly benefit from quality content about art history!
Triangular and pyramidal composition became popular during the High Renaissance and we're taught in apprenticeships, texts that discussed art theory, and the academies. These techniques helped bring stability, focus, and 3 dimensionality to the art.
