1.      1.  The West Coast Pop Art Video:
Lowbrow art – hard to categorize but a form of art, thought to be a reaction against highbrow culture. Lowbrow was seen as “lacking of taste”. Paintings included naked women and hot rods. Originally meant pornography. Some say it’s like pop surrealism. It’s origin was in the 1960’s.

Tate Modern Video:

Modern art museum with five million visitors a year. Interactive events happen in the art. It’s contempary art. “Temple of the far art” Tate Modern represents a social change. Contempary art became more valued because of Tate Modern. Wolff Olins, the creater, utilized the space very well. People had a personal and collective experience.

3.   3.    I really enjoyed the films. I had never heard of the term “low brow” because and it was interesting to see a name put to that form of art and the history behind it. And watching the Tate Modern video made me realize how big of an effect art has on culture and people.
