Video Review Module 7


 1)Classical Architecture: The concept of this video was to express the importance of classic architecture on modern society as well as the effect it has had through history. We are to learn to appreciate how prevalent classical architecture was and continues to be in structures. 
Frank Gehry: Architecture as Art: For this video I learned about how important Frank Gehry is to bringing recognition to architecture as more than just buildings. Gerhy's works and structures are indeed art works and can evoke as many, if not more emotions as paintings can. Architecture can be aesthetically pleasing, practical in form and a work of art.
2) Classical Architecture: This video served to add more depth and reinforce the readings about classical architecture. It gave a history lesson on how in the country of Great Britain classical Roman and Greek architecture was and is still used through time, even when new styles emerged. The text tells us a lot about how classical architecture inspires so the video was relevant to this.
Frank Gehry: Architecture as Art: This video helped to elaborate on how buildings that house art are in fact art within themselves. In the text this was mentioned somewhat briefly and this video goes far into it and its connection to art, architecture and people.
3) Classical Architecture: This video really gave an in depth thought to how classical architecture is so important. It makes you appreciate and understand the importance of the Romans and Greeks.
Frank Gehry: Architecture as Art: This video was very lengthy, but still its length was necessary for the point it was conveying. It helped me to discover an architect that does unintentional innovative things within architecture. Gehry’s style is not meant to be outwardly attention seeking, yet it draws people in which is why it is true art.
4) Classical architecture: I picked this video because it seemed to be so important in the text that I wanted to learn and hear more about the classical style. I made a good choice as it seems classical architecture is the base for most past and present designs.
Frank Gehry: Architecture as Art: I chose this video because it seemed logical to me that architecture is an art form. I was curious as to the exact process of making architecture artistic so I watched and then learned from my viewing.
