The Lowdown on Lowbrow: West Coast Pop Art
1. discuss the key concepts you learned.
Some concepts I learned was what lowbrow means. It is art that no one knows how to characterize. Artist don't like using this term. I also learned that this type of style is made for the people and made to relate to the people. It uses car culture, pop culture and even historic references.
2. Do the videos relate to the creation of your Art Exhibition project? If yes, explain how. If no, explain why not.
It relates to the project for me in one way. It shows me that an exhibit does not need to be the normal paintings or sculptures, it can be provocative and they can be pretty much anything you want.
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?
This film was interesting. I have never heard of "Lowbrow" art until watching this. I don't really think it added much depth to my project.
Displaying Modern Art: The Tate Approach
1. discuss the key concepts you learned.
Some key concepts I learned was the intellectual and aesthetic issues associated with the display of art, using rooms in the Tate Modern as an example. Over viewing the exhibition style Alfred Barr established during his transformation of Museum of Modern Art in the 1930s, the video shows how Tate curators developed a new method utilizing theme-based museum sections.
2. Do the videos relate to the creation of your Art Exhibition project? If yes, explain how. If no, explain why not.
Yes this relates to the project because it shows how important the background and surroundings of your exhibit are. You do not want to pick anything that will overshadow the artwork and you want to make sure it coincides with the work.
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 thought this film was very informative. It really helped me think about how I will display my exhibit on the PowerPoint. That is pretty much the only thing I learned from this video.
Bones of Contention: Native American Archaeology
1. Discuss the key concepts you learned.
This video talks about the remains of more than 10,000 Native Americans unearthed at archaeological sites across the U.S. are in the possession of museums such as the Smithsonian. This video discusses the tensions between scientists, historians, and museum curators and Native American groups, as the bones take on a central role in a war of alternate perspectives.
2. Do the videos relate to the creation of your Art Exhibition project? If yes, explain how. If no, explain why not.
I do not think this video relates to my exhibition project. This video was pretty much all about how the Native Americans interpreted art throughout history, which has nothing to do with my project. The smallest connection I made was how art can keep a history of someone or something living forever.
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?
While I thought this film was very informative on the Native Americans history in art, I do not think it added any depth to the art concepts that we have learned.
An Acquiring Mind: Philippe de Montebello and The Metropolitan
1. discuss the key concepts you learned.
Some key concepts I learned is that a museum is never done and they do not just fill gaps they cannot represent a style, artist, or movement unless they can get an outstanding example. Mr. de Montebello has acquired more than 84,000 works of art and is the longest tenured director of 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 think this video definitely relates to my exhibition project. They discuss how curators find the best representative piece of the style or movement they are showing. It shows how much work goes into every detail of the museum, from frames to wall colors to lighting and even the other pieces surrounding each other.
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?
This film was very interesting and informative. It really helped me understand how important the surroundings of the art work is. Each piece has to work together and you should never settle for a piece that "kind of" fits the theme or movement you are exhibiting. You want to have the best.
