warning: the video (or rather narration) contains some wrong information (e.g. modern art started in 1980 and abstract art is painted with fingers , and some wrong terminology etc). It has poor grammer like it is just an essay by a second language student with some misinformation. However if you know nothing of art it is not too bad but not a good reference.
All the affects in the back where very unhelpful. I couldn't focus on the maybe 4 arts that where shown and i would say this could be an eye strain or atleast a flash warning. Apart from that, this was overall an OK document.
Fascinating. I am new to the art world yet I have read and have heard of many references to these movements and artists. Thank you for the thorough and interesting presentation of modern art. Best wishes from autumn days Melbourne Australia.
Tristan Tzara (Samuel Rosenstock) was Romanian. The pseudonym of the author of the Da-da manifesto, Tristan Tzara, means Sad Country. He definitely liked playing on words. Indeed, "da" means "yes" in Romanian, while "da, da" means "no" (with an ironic intonation). Being a nihilistic art movement, anti-establishment, against the irrational of the politics, against the horrors of the war, an art movement against all art movements, ironic with its own public, the "no" interpretation may be just it.
I was trying to figure out if this was written by the AI or by a non-english speaking human. "The art(s)." I am certain I don't know what "the arts" is.
Let me begin by telling you that when my brother was just starting school, he rebelled at the rules of spelling. Why did words have to be spelled in a particular way? Why couldn't he spell them as he wanted to spell them? He resented the rules and he resisted the authority of those who made them ! Keep this in mind. I think that Conceptual art originated with people who could not and would not do the difficult work required to become a 'traditional' artist. Can't master the necessary skills ? No knowledge of perspective? Can't draw? Don't want to have to learn color theory? Can't master composition? No knowledge of human anatomy? Can't render tonal values Can’t be bothered ? These are skills that you have to WORK to perfect. It’s difficult. It takes…..effort. You want a fast track to the exalted position of "artist “. Well then, belittle the importance of those skills and debase the notion that they are a prerequisite to creating art. Instead, create an art genre that you CAN do. A new genre. And let's call it Conceptual art. Conceptual artists claim that IDEAS and CONCEPTS are the main feature of their art. They can slap anything together and call it ''conceptual art'' confident that viewers will find SOMETHING to think about it no matter how banal or trivial the artist's concept! There is no way conceptual art pieces can be judged. The promoters of this art have attacked the motives and credibility of authorities and critics who might disparage the work. They have rejected museums and galleries as defining authorities. They reject the idea that art can be judged or criticized . All of this results in a decline in standards. And when you jettison standards, quality suffers. There really IS such a thing as BAD art ! We know this only because we have standards and criteria by which such things can be evaluated. It seems that conceptual art comes down to a basic idea: No one has the right or authority to make any judgements about art ! Art is anything you can get away with ! A whole new language has been created to give the work an air of legitimacy and gravitas. Conceptual art is 'sold' to the unwary public with ....."ArtSpeak". ArtSpeak is a unique assemblage of English words and phrases that the International Art world uses but which are devoid of meaning! Have you ever found yourself confronted by an art gallery’s description of an exhibition which seems completely indecipherable? Or an artist’s statement about their work which left you more confused than enlightened? You’re not alone. Here are examples of ArtSpeak: ' Works that probe the dialectic between innovations that seem to have been forgotten, the ruinous present state of projects once created amid great euphoria, and the present as an era of transitions and new beginnings.'' Or ''The exhibition reactivates his career-long investigation into the social mutations of desire and repression. But his earlier concerns with repression production--in the adolescent or in the family as a whole--give way to the vertiginous retrieval and wayward reinvention of mythical community and sub-cultural traditions.'' This language is meant to convince me that there is real substance to this drivel which is being passed off as art. I don't buy it. But plenty of other people DO buy it. Not because they love the work. They are laying out enormous sums in the belief that their investment will bring them high returns in the future. One Jeff Koons conceptual piece is three basketballs suspended in a fish tank. commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Three_Ball_Total_Equilibrium_Tank_by_Jeff_Koons,_Tate_Liverpool.jpg Here is Koons' own ArtSpeak explanation of his floating basketball 'concept' verbatim : “ This is an ultimate state of being. I wanted to play with people’s desires. They desire this equilibrium. They desire pre-birth. I was giving a definition of life and death. This is the eternal. This is what life is like, also, after death. Aspects of the eternal” Rather lofty goals for 3 basketballs suspended in a fish tank!! It sold for $350,000. I wonder what it would have fetched without Koons' name attached to it. Or take the case of Martin Creed's ball of crumpled white copy paper. www.abebooks.com/signed/Work-sheet-paper-crumpled-ball-Creed/7404135374/bd He made almost 700 of them! Some sold for hundreds of dollars. Martin Creed, when asked during an interview how he would respond to those who say the crumpled paper ball isn’t art said : “ I wouldn’t call this art either. Who says, anyway, what’s good and what’s bad?” Interviewer: ''When confronted with conceptual art, we shouldn’t worry whether it’s art or not because no one really knows what art is.'' Is this what art has come to?? Something radical has happened to the art scene in the past 60 years. Cubism slid into non-representational art....what is often called Abstract. Abstract or non-representational art is a legitimate and often profound genre. But to many people, it appeared as if this new style had no structure, principles or standards of evaluation. It’s markings seemed random and arbitrary. Something that anyone could do. Any composition of blotches or scribbles was “Abstract Art”. This was the slippery slope that led to the abandonment of standards in art. Art is what I say it is....and lots of people jumped on the art bandwagon. Anyone can be an artist. Anyone can mount a show. And who is to say if it has value or not ? A tacit agreement has formed among critics, galleries, publications and auction houses to promote and celebrate certain artists and styles. Objects with no artistic merit are touted and praised . Their value increases with every magazine article, every exhibition in a prestigious gallery. And when they come up for auction, sometimes the auction houses will lend vast sums to a bidder so that it appears as if the work of the particular artist is increasing in value. The upward spiral begins and fortunes are made. And many are reluctant to declare that the Emperor is, in fact, naked lest they appear boorish unsophisticated Philistines ! This is what dominates the art market today. The love of money is the root of all evil. It has corrupted politics. It has corrupted sport. It has corrupted healthcare. It has corrupted religion. And now it has corrupted art. But, there is reason to hope. As much of the wisdom of the Greeks and Romans was kept alive through the Middle Ages in small pockets of learning and culture, ateliers have sprung up around the world that are devoted to preserving and handing down the traditional visual arts: drawing, painting and sculpting to each new generation. And when this craze for conceptual art has burned itself out and when visual art is no longer looked on as mere decoration and when schools that have dissolved their art programs want to reestablish them again, the world will find these skills preserved through the atelier movement
Such good understandable material, but the voiceover is a computer surely / hence all the mispronunciation akin to tom Tom gps which can’t say the words which are different to the normal rules or a different langusge. I listened until van “gogg” annoyed
Thank you for your sharing, it's been well clarified. Since it's a document about art, I think the video should be made by some artistic sense, but the background is not only distracting, but also looks horrible.😶
Todays art should never be called Modern Art but “Lasy #ucking Art”. Or call it”How can I get a multi millionaire to make me famous and we all make a lot of MONEY”
The information is accurate but horribly offered to the audience. I do NOT recommend this particular introduction to modern art. Acan artist it is insulting, as an educator this tool is so poor it may be a detriment.

Informative introduction, but needed a calmer background and more examples of works of art.
exactly what I was thinking!
If only you showed us the paintings, instead of those unnecessary lights , distracting, annoying.
Exactly!
I love the motion graphics!
Yeah I feel like I'm on shrooms, this isn't what I signed up for
Me being autistic I love those lights. Very calming for me
Way too distracting to watch with all the special effects crap !!
I have to agreem
What is this an eye test?
The automated voice and flashing background make this unwatchable for me. Switching off @ 2:33
warning: the video (or rather narration) contains some wrong information (e.g. modern art started in 1980 and abstract art is painted with fingers , and some wrong terminology etc). It has poor grammer like it is just an essay by a second language student with some misinformation.
However if you know nothing of art it is not too bad but not a good reference.
I agree with most of the other comments. A good text which needs supporting images. Thank you.
The text is nonsense.
Is it a way to make disappear these hawful backgrounds ?
Is the narrator a robot or an extra-terrestrial alien?
This video is so import. Fr. Me I study history of arts but i learn more from your video,thank you mam & GOD BLESS
Glad to hear that
All the affects in the back where very unhelpful. I couldn't focus on the maybe 4 arts that where shown and i would say this could be an eye strain or atleast a flash warning. Apart from that, this was overall an OK document.
Just the first minute brings red flags - modern art was created...4 arts...
Well, that's one's viewpoint.I am glad I have my own
What's with all the cgi backgrounds? Just show the art
Fascinating. I am new to the art world yet I have read and have heard of many references to these movements and artists. Thank you for the thorough and interesting presentation of modern art. Best wishes from autumn days Melbourne Australia.

did make it past 2:59 due to the background special effects being distracting and annoying. Great voice though.
Such good understandable material, but the voiceover is a computer surely / hence all the mispronunciation akin to tom Tom gps which can’t say the words which are different to the normal rules or a different langusge. I listened until van “gogg” annoyed
The background hurts my eye loll
The voice over was less to be desired and the background images were horrible. Why not show more of the works of the artists mentioned?
I can see the real modern art in your videos background animations
too much going on and was moving too fast. I know it's a crash course but I just wasn't feeling it.
Today’s art is on the level of something smacked on a canvas in 5 minutes on an assembly line in China. Available for $15 at Walmart.
I think I'm high from watching this.
Sino nandito dahil doon sa module 2 sa arts
my god how can a deaf person watch this just for the captions.
That accent ("art") was too distracting for me, stopped before 1:50 plus the format is just too busy, it's a crash all right.
It‘s a very very slight Indian accent, not sure why you‘re so bothered by it.
@@FuzzyLunar Right ?! ;)
Art officially ended in 1950s when New York bankers decided to make New York & money the centre of the art world.
Thank you for your sharing, it's been well clarified. Since it's a document about art, I think the video should be made by some artistic sense, but the background is not only distracting, but also looks horrible.😶
Great suggestion!
The verb tense is bizarre and this seems like it's padded up and written by AI. It's absolute nonsense.
Todays art should never be called Modern Art but “Lasy #ucking Art”. Or call it”How can I get a multi millionaire to make me famous and we all make a lot of MONEY”
Modern art in 18th and 19th century. Name some from the 18th century.
Special effect is disturbing and confusing.
Inspiring except for the background music.
#5:26
I'm sure those weird patterns in the background are meant to brainwash your learning process.
Abstract art is painted with fingers? Is that what you said. I think this was done by extraterrestrials.
That is strange. Almost all abstract artists use brushes...
Nerve wracking. Is this AI?

do you know any other better ways to learn about it? my teacher set this video for us to write notes on and its not very helpful

@@cassidyl3684 yes. Of course! A good book!

what is the deal with all this silly imagery? is this a space video?
So only Europeans made art....got it.
Misinforming and in the visual context - just nonsensical.

Lmao what
Ugh
Horrendous
This is Rubbish
Geez, it’s like women didn’t make art at all! 🙄🥱
