1. For each video list/discuss the key concepts you learned.

In the first video I watched,  The Lowdown on Lowbrow: West Coast Pop Art, I learned of an underground art movement created by artists in the 1970's who rebelled against art snobs in their community. 

After watching the second video, Tate Modern, I learned that we must look at everything from different perspectives and standpoints to gain a better understanding. New exhibits are created that showcase collections in different views, allowing us to critically analyze works in ways we may have not thought of before.

Lastly, in the third video, An Acquiring Mind: Philippe de Montebello and The Metropolitan, the role of a curator was detailed and I learned of the steps they must go through for setting up an exhibit. Everything down to the angle and lighting can affect how a viewer sees a piece in an exhibit. 

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

These videos most definitely relate to the creation of my Art Exhibition project. They gave me better insight to how curators put together exhibits with common ideas and themes. Also I developed a better understanding for how the visually arrange the pieces so the flow in the exhibit and allow the viewers to examine each unique piece. 

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 enjoyed all the films because I was able to see how exhibits are set up, and understand the time and care put into them. It helped me to better understand how important every fine detail is in curating an exhibit in various galleries.
