2. Do the videos relate to the creation of your Art Exhibition project? If yes, explain how. If no, explain why not. 
The videos related to my creation in my Art Exhibition project in making me think about a couple different kinds of art. I got to think about certain styles and ways to make art and the background behind it, especially in the West Coast Pop art because it seems so laid back and nice. I will keep in mind the videos when I create my exhibition.

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?
The films were interesting. Although they're a bit extensive and long, the information in them is important and neat. It helps me get a deeper understanding.
