Module 7

1. The first video I watched was Frank Gehry: Architecture as Art. Frank Gehry was an architect who specialized in making buildings that performances could be held in. In the video, he spoke about his mindset going into building. He said he tries to make buildings that expresses feelings and how it's difficult to do so because art is subjective. He also spoke of his distaste for modern architecture due to its plain nature. He believed that a building should be made no different than paintings are made; meant to draw out some kind of emotion.
     The second video I watched was Frank Lloyd Wright (Prairie Style). Frank Lloyd Wright was an architect who took influence from nature.  He preferred to have houses and buildings blend in with the environment. He didn't seem particularly fond of certain American architecture due to it not being very environmental.

2. The videos relate to the readings in similar ways. Both videos discuss how two different artist try to add something personal to everything they make. On one hand, Gehry makes his buildings to bring up emotions, and Wright uses nature to give his buildings life.

3. I thought both films were fine. I like listening to artists speak about their passions and about the things that influence their artwork. I enjoyed listening to Frank Gehry speak more he was able to understand that when building anything, one should know that their project will not be liked by everything. Gehry specifically plans out his works to try to reach out to as wide of an audience possible.

4. I chose these two videos because I thought from the title I'd learn more about the faces being architecture. Before coming to college, that was one area I thought about exploring so it was interesting to see people who went through that process already.
