Jenna Aiello - Art Curation Project

This project was very difficult but interesting at the same time. Selecting a theme and works that apply to that theme was a bit of a challenge, but when it all came together, it seemed very simple. While selecting works, we had to make sure that the theme was clearly seen and would be applied to it's meaning. We also had to keep in mind the elements and principles of art, which was also difficult, especially when it came to organizing our works. It was also difficult to find works that didn't repeat others or say the same thing that others did. Creating the exhibit was fun though. It was nice to be in control of an exhibit with your own theme and meaning and teach somebody else about it. The most challenging part of this project, however, was all the interpretations of the works. Because they all met the same theme, alot had the same to say about them. In order to get to that level to interpret the works, we had to describe them, analyze them, and seek out the elements used. This was more time consuming than difficult but seeing your theme shining through these works of art was very refreshing. All in all, I enjoyed this project. It was a challenge, but art is a challenge in itself.
