Week 13 & 14 Blog Post


1. For each video list/discuss the key concepts you learned. In the first video watched “The Lowdown on Lowbrow: West Coast Pop art” I got to learn on how Lowbrow came about and the huge sensation it was, and the video mainly focuses on the type of art it was. In the second video “Displaying Modern Art: The Tate Approach” this film mainly focuses on the Museum of Modern Art and how their art work was displayed representing the different art movements. In the third video “Bones of Contention: Native American Archaeology” I got to learn on how the Indians bones were collected for scientific purposes and there was a huge debate on whether or not the remains should be kept or returned to their ancestors. In the last video “An Acquiring Mind: Philippe de Montebello and the Metropolitan” I got to learn about the legacy of Philippe de Montebello and what he did for the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

2. Do the videos relate to the creation of your Art Exhibition project? If yes, explain how. If no, explain why not. I felt like in some ways the videos do relate to the creation of my Art Exhibition project because the videos show many different types of themes and arrangements. On the other hand, it doesn’t pertain fully because I felt like my work is unique and full of things that remind me of myself.

3. What is your opinion of the films? Do they add depth to understanding of the art concepts you practiced while creating your curation project? I felt the films were very much like the last ones I watched they were put together and very interesting. The videos have helped me come up with the ideas I have and has given me some inspiration to the type of theme I want. Overall, the films gave a lot of insight of what you might be looking for and were very helpful.
