SBVC Impressionism A Journey Through Color and Emotion ART Exhibition Proposal

 develop a creative proposal for an art museum exhibit that includes 10 modern artworks we have learned about in this class. The artworks will be hung in a large, 1-room gallery. The proposal should reflect the art movements, artists, themes, issues considered in readings and class discussions throughout the semester. A list of artworks to be included in the exhibition  1-page exhibition diagram with the title of the show, 50-75 words explaining the aim of the show, and indications on where each artwork will be hung in the exhibition room.SCENARIO ;“What frustrates me is when I see visitors that are bored when they arrive and they stay bored—and these are the ones that come! What aren’t we giving them?”It’s time to use your expertise The board have asked you to use your expertise to propose either a new project or an extensive overhaul of an existing one in order to improve the “historical rigor” of art history in this area. At the same time, some of the trustees are skeptical that changes will be an improvement. One said:“I realize that there could be improvements, but a major exhibition will require a lot of work and resources. I want you to show me why your proposal is worth all that expenditure. What will be better about it? And even more, how will we measure whether it’s better or not?”The trustees are aware that this will not be a “blockbuster” or highly lucrative project as it will contain only 10 works. After considering all the proposals, the trustees will have a discussion to agree on an exhibition to take forward.The aim of the assignment is to make you think critically and visually about displaying artwork. Also, it serves to give you insight into the ‘real life’ experience of putting an art exhibition together. After all, many of us have been to an exhibition (or we might be inclined to go to one now because of this class, hopefully) and it is good to consider how they are put together. Moreover, museums are the ways in which we are introduced to artworks and are one of the vital ways that we engage with art. Much of the artwork that we have been studying in class is housed in public collections worldwide. Learning about how an exhibition is put together is an important part of thinking about art history. Plus, as we’ve learned so far in this class, art exhibitions can have a big impact on this history of art (For example, think about the Impressionist painters!).  What do I need to submit? The assignment is made up of the following components:1-page exhibition diagram including title of the exhibition, a 50 to 75-word statement about the exhibition’s interpretive goals and the location where each of the artworks will be hung in the large 1-room venue1-page exhibition diagram The 1-page exhibition diagram must include the following elements:Statement of interpretive goals or aims – Your proposal should explicitly explain in 50-75 words the intellectual and conceptual goals of the project.Before you begin writing your interpretive statement, make sure you’re clear on:Why you want to develop your interpretation: do you want to increase visitor understanding of your exhibits, provide a fun and rewarding day out for families, or increase the length of time people spend in your museum?What do you want visitors to take away from your interpretation? What do you want them to know, feel, or do as a result of the meaning you are interpreting to them?Who are you interpreting for? Do you want to attract new visitors? Do you want to improve provision for existing visitors?Remember that your proposal is designed to be a persuasive argument: you need to persuade the trustees (who are receptive but don’t have detailed goals, and some of whom are skeptical that improvements are feasible or worthwhile) and also persuade the general public. List of 10 artworks Include a list of 10 artworks in the exhibition with the following caption information for each work:Artist nameMediumYour proposal should not fabricate any aspect of the art historical past. Your proposal should be built around a real artworks and/or real art historical events that you have encountered during the semester.Throughout your proposal, you should draw on readings, discussions, assignments, or videos from the class to support your decisions. You have the latitude to be highly creative in this project in order to best showcase the principles of art history that you have learned in the class.Equally importantly, your proposal must focus on one of the following:A Core Topic/EventFor example, your exhibit could be based on an art movement, artist, or idea explored in the courseA ThemeYour proposal should have a major art historical dimension, but could incorporate other themes (i.e. politics, the body, myth, love, protest, landscape, etc).
