Questions and Topics for Your Blog Posting:
1. For each video list/discuss the key concepts you learned.
The Lowdown on Lowbrow: West Coast Pop Art: I did not know that what art historians call Pop Surrealism; practitioners call it Lowbrow.
Displaying Modern Art: The Tate Approach: I did not know that Tate curators developed a new method utilizing theme-based museum sections.
Bones of Contention: Native American Archaeology: I learned that 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.
An Acquiring Mind: Philippe de Montebello and The Metropolitan, I learned how much work is involved in preserving art pieces and how many fine techniques are involved. “World class art demands world class care”.
2. Do the videos relate to the creation of your Art Exhibition project? If yes, explain how. If no, explain why not.
An art curator is, in smaller organizations, may have sole responsibility for the acquisition and care of objects. The curator will make decisions regarding what objects to collect, oversee their care and documentation, conduct research based on the collection, provide proper packaging of art for transport, and share that research with the public and scholarly community through exhibitions and publications. The videos and this definition do relate to the upcoming exhibition project because it went into very deep detail about particular works of art, how they are made, handled, and taken care of over years and years.
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?The Lowdown on Lowbrow: West Coast Pop Art: I did not know that what art historians call Pop Surrealism; practitioners call it Lowbrow.

I did not do much yet to start my project, watching these videos was over 3 hours of my time so far, I have only watched 2 other videos regarding the project, so as far as “understanding of the art concepts I practiced while creating my curation project”, I can’t really say much. My opinion on the videos was good. It was a nice change of pace to the normal videos. It was very interesting to me to see how different pieces are preserved and how much work goes into keeping them original, so nothing effects their look or value.
