Art Appreciation Video Project

The Best is Yet to Come

Blacks have overcome so much to prove their power.

What is the Ideological Approach in Art?
The Ideological approach can be described as proving the power that Blacks really have. Blacks have accomplished so much despite the trials that the race as a whole has been through. Individual Black people have constantly proved to us that no individual, race, or institution can with-hold you from the success that rest in your future. These pictures represent those individuals that have reached their success and inspired others that they can do the same. Some of these individuals are historical figures and some are modern day idols.

Elements and Principles evident in the video
Value: The director uses the dark background to make the art/image shown protrude more to the viewer
Time and Motion: The time each work of art/image was slowed down so that the viewer would be able to see the work of art/image and still be able to hear the lyrics from the music
Focal Point: By the use of one work of art/image that is being shown at a time we are forced to focus on the work of art/image that is shown at that time
Rhythm / Movement: Throughout the video the woman was shown get ready to start a track race to represent someone starting their own success in their life

The video exhibits the power, excellence and success blacks have achieved despite the trials that’s the black people have been through over the years.
1.     Civil Rights leaders and people who wanted better for blacks in general, such as Harriet Tubman and Martin Luther king, Jr, opened doors for later generations to become more powerful. People such as Ray Charles and Michael Jackson took their opportunity and changes music for the better in their time. Also athletes, such as Jesse Owens, Jackie Robinson, and Doug Williams, decided not to allow the hard times blacks have been through to prevent them from becoming the first to do great things in their fields.
