Well first and foremost I think this is the most interesting and fun video that I have viewed for the entire semester. The art in this video was just fun and I’m not sure if it relates to my project but I would like to incorporate the fun manner in which the art is displayed into my project. The artists seam fun and that they are having a great time creating these pieces. For a younger guy what could be better than naked girls, cars and sports that are in most of these works? The main thing I learned was just the overview of the west coast pop art style of art I have never saw or heard of it before. It reminds me a lot of like a family guy comedy art works. My curation project is going to be a natural outdoors themed project and is really unrelated to this style of art.
The first thing I learned is that Tate is a modern well known art gallery that millions visit on a yearly basis. It’s located in London and is the most visited art gallery in the world. The Tate museum has had many well-known art exhibits displayed which is why it is so well known. They have a unique way to display their pieces that captivates the visitor in with the art. This relates to my project because I would like to display the pieces in my project much like the pieces displayed at the Tate Museum. This video was not as fun as the first one but it did convey a lot of good information. They made me realize that the way that art is displayed can influence what the viewer sees in the art.
This video was about native American archaeology. There are a unknown number of historical ancient Indians archaeological sites across the united states. Uncovering these sites is like looking into the culture of the people from that time. The uncovering reveals how these people lived their everyday lives, their religions, and how much they appreciated arts. These sacred grounds are dug up and persevered and displayed in museums. The outdoor atmosphere and hunting culture of the Indians relates to the theme of my curation project. This video was interesting but lengthy and boring but it did relate and reinforce concepts.
Prior to viewing the last video I had some preexisting knowledge from American history and the impact George Eastman had on America. I believe he made a camera that the working class family could afford to purchase and take pictures with. The George Eastman house is a museum that was created to display photographer’s works. It is sort of like an art museum just with photos instead of paintings. George Eastman founded Kodak and founded a art form and created a way to remember things and much of the history from that point forward has been displayed with photos. This video for some reason kept cutting out on my computer and it was a shame because I enjoyed watching this video. It could be that the video was more like a history lesson which I enjoy but it was a very interesting film. It relates to my project because perhaps I will display a photo as a part of my project.
