Week Thirteen and Fourteen - Blog: Video Review

1. For each video list/discuss the key concepts you learned.
 
The Lowdown on Lowbrow: West Coast Pop Art: This video art influenced from comic books, B-movies, rock n’ roll, surfing, hot rods, and Cold War imagery. Art historians call it Pop Surrealism and practitioners call it Lowbrow

Displaying Modern Art: The Tate Approach: This video talks about the intellectual and aesthetic issues associated with the display of art. The video looks at the exhibition style Alfred Barr established during his transformation of MoMA in the 1930s. It also shows how Tate curators developed a new method utilizing theme-based museum sections.
 
An Acquiring Mind: Philippe de Montebello and The Metropolitan: This video talks about Philippe de Montebello. He served as Director of The Metropolitan Museum of Art for 31 years. It goes through many of his drawings and paintings using watercolors and other painting techniques. It also shows how museum staff are able to keep old paintings looking like new by putting them in water to remove the acidic component in the paper.

2. Do the videos relate to the creation of your Art Exhibition project? If yes, explain how. If no, explain why not.

The videos does relate to the creation of the Art Exhibition project. It gives me ideas which I can utilize when working on the project.

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 think the first video added a lot of depth to my understanding. They have added more understanding to the art concepts which I practiced while creating your art exhibition project.
