Week 13/14 Video Review

1)  The Lowdown on Lowbrow: West Coast Pop Art: This video was about Lowbrow art. Lowbrow art was given its name by Robert Williams. This style of art seemed to be generally abstract and the name means lacking culture which seems to be just the opposite.

Displaying Modern Art: The Tate Approach: This movie was about how art should be displayed in an exhibit according to the Tate theory. In this theory art is displayed according to the subject matter and not the medium it was created from.

Bones of Contention: Native American Archaeology: This video was about the remains of Native American bodies. The bones and remains of these people have been collected for research and examination. Native American people strongly disagree with this practice and are working to have the remains returned so they are not desecrated.

George Eastman House: Picture Perfect: This video was about George Eastman and his contribution to art through the creation of personal photography. Eastman founded the Kodak company and the Eastman House is a photography museum which is located in Rochester, New York.

2) I believe these 4 videos do relate to the art exhibit project. The videos help add guidelines to help us create our exhibits.

3) I thought the films were very interesting and will ultimately help in the creation of my art exhibit.
