Step 1: Watch All Three Videos.
The Lowdown on Lowbrow: West Coast Pop Art
An Acquiring Mind: Philippe de Montebello and The Metropolitan
1. For each video list/discuss the key concepts you learned.
Lowbrow -To be honest I wasn't even sure what lowbrow was until this video, that being the main concept I learned. Lowbrow is a category that people find hard to categorize, it is very similar to surrealism but seems to have more naked women, cars and bright colors.
Tate Modern- I have heard of this gallery, in one of my other cases we learned about "the weather project". It was very interesting to see the other live exhibits and interacting performances that they have offered.
Acquiring mind- This video was very real for me. I live very close to NYC and I remember the first time I went, I was in 4th grade and we went to see an exhibit with Egyptian art and jewelry. It is one of my favorite museums and have been there many, many times. It was interesting to see the gallery from a different perspective.
2. Do the videos relate to the creation of your Art Exhibition project? If yes, explain how. If no, explain why not.
Yes the sure do! By watching these videos it very much put into perspective on how I would going about picking a theme. The term "Theme" is kind of intimidating because of its general and vague meaning. This was very helpful to the creation of this 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?
My honest opinion of these videos is the same as every other video I've had to watch for this class. The videos take much to long to show the concept at hand, BUT I do find it easy to watch videos for information as opposed to reading chapter after chapter. They all did add depth to the understanding of the art concepts I practiced while creating my curation project.
