Mod 13

1)  I watched two of the three videos, one as unavailable for viewing. These videos were the required videos and so there was no discretion.

 2) The first video on "LowBrow" art of the west coast was interesting for I did not know that there was such a genre.  I was however familiar with the style and some of the images in fact my neighbor practices this style and I will have to ask him if he is aware of its origin. The main concept of that video was that art is what it is not just what some whom have studied declare art is.
     The second video's theme was how much effort is put forth by some curators to present the art that is I guess considered '"HighBrow"  in a cohesive fashion and display in for the general public to view and enjoy.  

 4)  It was a good idea for the west coast to revolt against the elitism of the established art culture as many artists had to do in the past , such as creating their own salons for displaying pieces not considered worthy by the established schools and curators.  I believe it is true that some art work that is considered prized now was rejected when it had been created. Some would I am sure love to have some of the monies that are now paid for their pieces.
