Week Nine - Video Review

1.) The Lowdown on Lowbrow: West Coast Pop Art: Pop and car culture as well as folk art all have had major influences in Lowbrow art. The Laguna Art Museum put on a Lowbrow art show when no other galleries were willing to display it.

Displaying Modern Art: The Tate Approach: Modern art in the Museum of Modern Art was displayed in chronological order from 1929 onwards. This showed every art movement that took place during these times. In the Tate Museum the opposite of this is used. The art often has abrupt transitions between each display room.

Bones of Contention: Native American Archaeology: David Van Horn was charged with criminal possession of Native American bone fragments. Samuel Morton did a study to show the relationship between brain size and intelligence.

George Eastman House: Picture Perfect: George Eastman invented the first affordable, user-friendly camera and became the father of photography. The technology collection at George Eastman House contains about 16,000 objects, including about 5,000 cameras and holds the largest Daguerreotype collection outside of France.

2.) Yes I think the videos relate to my art exhibition project. The video on that talked about the Museum of Modern Art and the Tate was especially helpful to me. It was interesting to see how each place presents their pieces to the public. This video especially gave me some good ideas to use in my project.

3.) The videos were ok at best in my opinion. Like I noted above the Tate video was very helpful to me but my personal feelings are that that video was the only one that helped me out. The other videos had some interesting points to them but left me feeling no different after watching them.
