VIDEO REVIEWS:
1. For each video list/discuss the key concepts you learned.
2. Do the videos relate to the creation of your Art Exhibition project? If yes, explain how. If no, explain why not.
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?
Video #1: 1. In this video I learned that lowbrow art was defined as "a person regarded as uncultivated and lacking in taste". A lot of the artists from the video were not concerned by this definition and continued to create art as they pleased. Lowbrow art was art that contained explicit graphics such as naked women or exaggerated body parts. Lowbrow art originated in the West Cost of the U.S.
2. No, this video does not relate to my art exhibition project. My art exhibition project is more conservative and traditional looking, so I do not think it fits the criteria as being similar to lowbrow art.
3. I enjoyed watching this film mostly because of it's colors. The film was interesting because it showed various examples of lowbrow art, which I had never heard of before. Yes, this film did add depth to my understanding of the art concepts I practiced when creating my project, it reminded me that it does not have to be perfect or fit within the means of what society thinks my art work should look.
Video#2: 1. In this video, I learned about how art is displayed in museums and galleries. Political and Ideological themes were among some of the ways that art was displayed after modernism. The Tate approach divided the artwork into four different sections each having their own unique displays and organized specially.
2. Yes, this video related to my art exhibition project because my project was organized similar to the Tate approach. I did my project on exotic artwork of African and Asian roots.
3. This film was not that interesting, it taught me a lot about the Tate approach to displaying art work, but I did not find it that helpful. It somewhat added depth to the understanding of art concepts I practiced while creating my exhibit by reminding me that display is an important aspect in drawing attention to it. But otherwise it did not affect my thinking during the creation of my artwork.
Video #3: 1. In this video, I learned that Philippe De Montebello was the director of the Metropolitan museum for 31 years. He talked about how it was important to him when choosing which pieces of art, which ones were appropriate for display in the museum. I also learned that the conservation of art on paper is often a long process and to create the best results you should take your time.
2. Yes, this video does relate to my art project. My project was specially crafted to be seen by a variety of spectators and I strived to make it as interesting as possible.
3. This film was somewhat interesting. It was interesting listening to Montebello talk about how he chooses to display certain artwork and how he filters out the art that is not fit for the Metropolitan.
