1. In Bones of Contention, I learned about the tough struggles between being ethical or getting what you want in the art world while disrupting the history of the work.
The Modern Art film showed me how, in my view, sexist art curators of the past were. There were few, if any, female artists showcased in the exhibits. That's something that I find ridiculous, and, I'm not sure how it really is today, but I hope things have changed.
In Acquiring Mind I learned about the curating process and how one acquired work for the exhibit. Curators must always be objective and open to different pieces when selecting the works.
The lowdown of Lowbrow film taught me about a style that I really didn't know existed. It's a very "cartoonish" style that can be simply viewed as surreal art.
2. I have to be honest, most of the videos didn't really help me with my project. I already had my idea and vision for my exhibit so I think I might have went into the videos with a very close-minded approach. That may not be the best thing to do, but I'm happy with where my project is at. I will say, the "Acquiring Mind" video did teach me a bit about the curating process and how people acquire the artwork they desire. It also helped me, way more than the others, to keep an open mind in selecting my artwork while sticking to my theme.
3. For the most part, I enjoyed the films (except for their length). The only video that added anything to my knowledge was the Acquiring Mind film. Other than that, I just sat and enjoyed them.
