Art Criticism Videos

I first watched the Greenburg on Art Criticism: An Interview by T. J. Clark video. It was hard to understand, his slurring and the sound was not very loud. I learned how much he drinks and smokes, in between each inhale came a sentence or two. All I heard was about how one has to argue the point to critique art. The Greenburg on Polluck: An Interview by T.J. Clark was a little better. I learned about the “death of easel painting” and murals and they were away from containment with boxed edges.
An Introduction to the Italian Renaissance was my favorite. it explained most of the artists we had learned about and their contributions to the art world in a brief and entertaining way.
The Critics-Stories from the Inside Pages was about how critics get media artists to think. They keep the artists on their toes. The subjective (criticism) and objective (reporting) is what it is all about. This requires logic, emotional support and personal credibility. The theory; knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis , synthesis, and evaluation were all explained in this video. To become a critic one must learn to write and start at the bottom.
The Jackson Polluck: Michael Fried and T. J. Clark in Conversation video went into depth of the historical role of modern art and the independence of its aesthetic meaning. One would have to agree on the description in order to agree/disagree on the characteristics to criticize fairly.
The Colonial Encounter: Views of Non-Western Culture was about Dahome Art and Barbarism. The shark was the symbol to protect the shore and mud houses were of the African culture. This video explained the Algerian exhibit at the 1900 Worlds Fair and used the word “indigenous” many times.
The video on "stories from the inside pages" may help and be useful in my criticism, but not the others. I may somehow use the information and not realize it until I am actually writing my critique.
