I didn't made any long posts about all the key artists and eras we learnt because I thought it unnecessary. We learnt about what they did and the movement they created, about how they changed the aesthetic value of a piece of artwork during their time period but that's all in the past.
I think, we get to know more about what little we knew, and know a whole lot more of what we didn't knew. That itself is just a phase we have to go through, in order to absorb more knowledge about them, the meaning behind their art and why they chose this path as an artist.
I learnt so much about so many artists, and now I know the meaning behind a few of their famous paintings (why they got famous). It helps me find a path towards my own goal, my own style. I don't think we should follow in their footstep, we only need to understand them and see them as our stepping stone towards our own personal goal.
There are so much things to write about them that I don't think anyone's going to go through all of them. (internet slang tl;dr) That's why I just want to say, I've learnt so many things, so many concepts and delved into these famous artist's subconscious minds that it's amazing all on its own. The videos were inspiring, and they convey the artist's approach towards life and art in an absorbing way. All in all, art history was very interesting because we've learnt so much, and it feels like we still need to know more about the history of art before we can finally tell people how amazing being an art student is, because we know something beautiful yet painfully logical and mind numbing at the same time.
Personally I fell head over heels for Frida Kahlo. I also enjoy seeing Jackson Pollock's drip paint artworks.
Very Informative on famous time periods and artists involved
