They also discuss their uses and the various ways they can be used. I believe the text and videos play well off each other because they both covered very important concepts and then I was able to learn about it visually. 3. I enjoyed watching the films because it allowed my mind to branch off from the books concepts. It also allowed for me to witness these works of art visually and actually see how they are made. I was able to learn about the artists and their opinions of their creations. I also was able to see the logic before, during, and after these creations.
