homework for 2/6/12

in watching some of these videos, what i saw did not really disgust me or freak me out because i feel like in today's society people are exposed to a lot more worse things than that of what was shown in the videos. however, for those particular time periods, those may have been considered as more of unconventional art. when i was watching the video talking about the art of the spainard fransico goya i thought to myself where did these ideas come from because today if we see a modern artist create paintings such as goya we wouldnt really make a big deal out of it because we see things like that all the time on television and movies, but for an individual to create paintings such as his with almost pure imagination was a bit surprising to me. personally i feel that some of goya's paintings were perhaps the way he viewed particualar people in an abstract manner. the other videos showed not so much of horror but of disgust. i really found it interesting though that people truely consider stuff like that art. i always use to think as a kid that art was a landscape picture or drawing on paper, but now i am being exposed to other traditional and untraditional types of art.
