The Collection Project involves curating and creating your own collection based on a theme of your choice. Your collection will highlight a new collection of artwork created by women artists. This will include six works that you feel have a particularly interesting synergy as a collection. This is a culmination assignment where you are expected to apply art terminology, history, theory, and methodology to the design of your collection. This is your chance to demonstrate your understanding of key concepts, styles, themes, artists, and techniques acquired throughout the course.
You will act as the curator of your own museum exhibit. For this project you will write a Curatorial Statement and develop a Collection Presentation to display the artwork you have chosen.
Collection Presentation
For the Collection Presentation, students are to create a PowerPoint presentation containing the following:
At least 6 pieces of artwork (color images).
Image labels for each piece of artwork.
o Label should include: ï§ Artist
ï§ Title
ï§ Date
o Label should appear on the slide directly under the image (not in the notes section). Notes written under each slide:
o Include a short analysis of work and justification for its inclusion. This can mirror the information included in your Curatorial Statement. Treat the notes section as what you would “say” if you were giving a live presentation. It is imperative that you use your own thoughts and language here.
