2. Do the videos relate to the creation of your Art Exhibition project? If yes, explain how. If no, explain why not. yes, these videos do relate to the creation of my art exhibition project. I think they relate because they help give an inside look on being a curator of an art museum, and  how they fix and build their collections 

3. What is your opinion of the films? Do they add depth to the understanding of the art concepts you practiced while creating your curation project?
The films were interesting. I think I liked the Q and A one the best because it helps describes what having a job like that is like. They do add depth to the understanding of the curation project.
