2. Do the videos relate to the creation of your Art Exhibition project? If yes, explain how. If no, explain why not.
-My theme is romance so it is easy to have art relate to it. There were a few images that showed pictures that would fit perfectly in my theme and I have wrote them down to see if I can find them and research them to see if I want to use them. So yes, they related because they gave me more examples of images to use.

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 really enjoyed the films this week. They were a little more upbeat than some in the past and it was nice to be able to connect to the movies a little bit more. They do add depth because they gave me a few more ideas and really expanded on some ideas I have had. It showed new themes that could be available and so I was thinking of combining some themes also.
