Task inside and outside a loop

I have two methods below. Can you please tell me what each method do in brief and how does the two methods differ from each other ?

 public void Method1()
{
        foreach (string symbol in arrList)
        {
           Task.Factory.StartNew(() => DoWork(symbol));

        }
}

public void Method2()
{

        Task.Factory.StartNew(() =>
        {
            foreach (string symbol in arrList)
            {
                DoWork(symbol);

            }
        });
}

The first will create many asynchronous Tasks that each call DoWork with the given symbol. The second will create one asynchronous Task that will do the entire loop before exiting.
