The first video about lowbrown art ties in nicely to the project. They explained what the term means and where it came from, then you could see art that would be placed in that category.Also, the descriptions being given were done by gallery curators, whic is essentially the role we will be playing in the creation of our projects. It kind of helped serve as another example of a theme that could be used for this project.
The second video spoke specifically about the approach the Tate curators use in their form of displaying art. They created four different sections each with a specific them to display the works. These themes were also displayed consisting of artworks of different time periods as well as materials and artists.
OK...The video about the Native American bones was very informational, but bored me to death. I couldn't quite make the connection to the project with this one and had a hard time focusing on what was going on.
I liked the video about the George Eastman House. I live in Rochester, NY and have been there many times. The theme of the collections in this museum are film and photography. The video was another supplement to the idea of different themes that we could develop as curators for our projects, as well as the process that is gone through in doing so.
