After doing a lot of research on different websites I came across a couple of different artists that were perfect for the exhibit. The exhibit theme I choose was emotions. The reason why I had chosen this theme is because it’s personally something that interests me and I think that would interest others. I love too see what the artist is passionate about and why they paint what they paint. As I have researched I have seen that many artists reflection their feelings and emotions in there pieces. There was no specific order that I ordered my exhibit besides the main first couple of illustrations. I put these ones that I thought fit the topic the best before I added the rest. Also, I choose the text and colors because I thought the fitted the theme the best. For a bright day a lot of artist would use different shades of bright colors, for a dark emotions the artist may use dark colors.

Blog Video Review
1. For each video list/discuss the key concepts you learned.
The Lowdown on Lowbrow: West Coast Pop Art: The main concepts of this video followed the opionons of the artist Anthony Amussin. It focused on the ideas of him and also the type of art which is called "lowbrow" art.
Bones of Contention: Native American Archaeology: This video discusses Native Americans cermonies and also how their bones were collected. The cermonies are the part of the film that I thought to be most interesting because of the traditions that they have followed through out history.
George Eastman House: Picture Perfect: This video focussed on the invention by George Eastman who created a inexpensive camera for inexperienced users. George was known for his many accomplishments in art, science, and also his creation of the camera. One of the most interesting facts that I had found in the film was that he has thousands of different images that were captured by a camera which is on display in his home.
Displaying Modern Art: The Tate Approach: This video discussed the Musem of Modern Art. I had discussed this movie in the answer to one of my post questions because in this video having things in a specific order was very important to this artists and this type of art.
2. Do the videos relate to the creation of your Art Exhibition project? If yes, explain how. If no, explain why not.
I do believe that the films related to my art exhibition due to mainly how the exhbitions are set up in the galleries. Personally I think the way that the different pieces of work are arranged adds a sense of depth in itself.
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 had very positive thoughts of the recquired films that we had to watch. They each added depth in their own different ways to the conepts that I had used in my curation project. It really helped me better understand for the most part what we were doing.

Video Reviews
Explain why you selected each of the FOUR videos you choose from the selection listed above.
I selected each of the following videos for the same reasoning as prior- they seemed to be the most interesting to me. Hockney on Photography sparked my interest because I really seem to find an interest in photography as a whole because it is amazing to me what one can capture. The other videos that I had choosen were ones that I wanted to learn about.
For each video list/discuss the key concepts you learned.
Abstract Expressionism & Pop-One of the main focuses in this video is how Abstract Expressionism was created and how it correlates with American & European art. This video really interested me because I love all different types of this type of art.
Hockney on Photography- I choose this video because I seem to have a real liking for photography. One of my favorite things about this video is that it let the viewer understand what the process actually contains & the process that goes behind creating the art. This video per say didn’t relate to the chapter as much as the other but it did relate to others.
Isamu Noguchi: The sculpture of Spaces-One of the main focuses of this video was the artist Isamu Noguchi which specialized in sculptor. It discussed part of Ismau Noguchi’s past that showed how his work is influenced.
How do the videos relate to the readings in the text?
The videos relate to the readings in the text they discussed topics and even some of the artists that were discussed in the chapter. The videos included much more in depth details about the subjects that we have discussed in the chapter.

Andy Warhol: Images of an Image-The main focus of the video is discussing who Andy Warhol is & what he is all about. The discussed his creation of silk screening which once a design is created, ink is daubed onto the mesh. The ink is then pressed into the design with a squeegee, and the impression will be hung out to dry. One of my favorite creations that Andy did was the Campbell's Soup design-that is so neat.

Art Gallery Visit 2
Step 1: The Exhibition
Questions about the exhibit:
1. What is the title of the exhibit? Works by Clayton Richard
2. What is the theme of the exhibition? Oil Paintings
Step 2: The Gallery
Questions about the physical space:
1. What type of lighting is used? Lining the walls were track lighting which led to a perfect environment where the lights weren't too bright and not to dark.
2. What colors are used on the walls? The color used on the walls were white and had a very modern feel.
3. What materials are used in the interior artchitecture of the space? Even though the walls were simple & white there were small vases filled with seasonal flowers where the exhibition was loacted.
4. How is the movement of the viewer through the gallery space? It was a very decent size space that I would say and all viewers were able to take in the different illustrations with a comfortable amount of space.
Step 3: The Artwork
Trickle
This painting was one of my favorites that I had seen the last time that I was at the gallery. Rickard has such a special talent in which he is able to use oil paints to create this wonderful painting. His vivid use of the oil paints carried throughout the painting. The use of the element rhythm showed through at the water trickled down the mountain.
Singer Road Looking East
Singer Road Looking East was my favorite painting of the exhibit. One of the many reasons is because I actually am fimiliar with this road- which creates a different view of the painting than the others. He was able to use such real life like colors. I could see myself walking up a similar house driveway and living in the country this is what it looks like when and after it snows on a cold wintery day. The painting in a way really brings you in to it.
