M13&14: Video Reviews


          In the Lowdown on Lowbrow: West Coast Pop Art video I learned how the punk rock generation propelled Lowbrow art culture. Artists were able to get their work to the masses in the form of album covers and fliers. I learned that they gained more recognition and acceptance after being featured in a book about female Lowbrow artists.

         In Displaying Modern Art” The Tate Approach video I learned how modernist ideas reshape the presentation of art in museums and galleries and how it has evolve in the postmodern era. I learned that art should be more than entertainment and how abstract artists tried to make paintings that were not dependent on figuration because they wanted to covey emotions, aesthetic effects, or social vision.

       In Bones of Contention: Native American Archaeology video, I learn about the laws regarding archeology and Native American burial grounds and how upset that this must of made Native Americans feel.

       In An Acquiring Mind: Philippe de Montebello and The Metropolitan video, I learned how some procedures that one must take in order for artworks to be placed in galleries and museums.


       The videos does relate to my art Exhibition project because my project is based on how the convergences of different cultures can influence an artist and its work. Watching the films I knew that I must understand the history of the works and how people feel about it. Because my theme was focused on cultures I knew understanding the history was significant. The films were interesting and added depth to understanding art concepts while creating my curation project. It was interesting to get to understand about how different arts are formed.
