Module 13 & 14: Video Review

1. For each video list/discuss the key concepts you learned.
An Acquiring Mind: Philippe de Montebello and The Metropolitan Museum of Art
174 European paintings in the museum 
Book of Revelation 
The Gilman Paper Company 
Woman Seen from the Back 
Artworks in museums can be kept in storage and must be handled with care
Draping fabrics was considered art
Total immersion in water
Stained glass conservation 
The Exhibition
The Lowdown on Lowbrow: West Coast Pop Art
Lowbrow: a person regarded as uncultivated and lacking in taste. 
Surrealism
Isabel Samaras
Many definitions of Lowbrow
Pop Art was big in that culture
2. Do the videos relate to the creation of your Art Exhibition project? If yes, explain how. If no, explain why not.
They did help because I saw artwork that related to my Art Exhibition. I couldn't get the second one to work so I'm hoping I didn't miss out on too much. The videos helped me to think deeper into this project. 
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 liked the films. At some points they could be a bit dull, but other than those few parts they were enjoyable and helpful. The Lowbrow video took forever to loan and it took me twice as long to watch the 48 minute film because it had to pause and reload every 30 seconds.
