While natural history and science museums offer invaluable experiences, as this class focuses primarily on art, it is necessary that you attend an art museum for this assignment or a place in which art is exhibited.
Written Assignment: The goal of this assignment is to give you a better understanding of the museum experience and how museum professionals design exhibitions using artworks to tell a story or make an argument about the past or present.
As you explore the museum in-person or on their website, write down your observations in response to the following questions:
What is the name of the museum?
Identify at least three or four works of art that interest you and record the following for each: name of artist [if available], title, date, medium, and art movement [if given]).
Then, for each work of art discuss the following: In what ways are these artworks connected to what we have discussed in class?
Select one work of art that interests you the most and provide a brief description of its subject and the way it was created. What drew you to this artwork? How does it make you feel?
What is your overall impression of the museum? What did you like about it? Was there anything you didn’t like about it? If so, what?
To better understand the job of a curator and how he or she goes about building a collection, see the following resources:
