Introduction: As you have learned from 

this course, museums are essential to the study of art. Curators, who 

work to develop exhibits at museums, play an important role in the art 

that museum visitors experience. The act of curating is a powerful act. 

The curator has the power to determine what is made visible and 

therefore, what knowledge is passed on to the museum viewer. Before you 

begin your final project, check out this article on how Museums Shape Meaning. Also, please review the supplemental resources in the Curator Project module. Directions: For this assignment, you 

will “curate a museum exhibition” that includes three images that are 

significant to you and that you think need to be more visible in dominant culture.

 You can choose any kind of image: craft, art, popular culture, etc. 

This project is an expository and reflective assignment and it will 

develop your research and critical thinking skills. In your digital 

exhibition, you will include 3 existing images/artworks, argue for their

 importance to visual culture, and reflect on why this digital exhibit 

is meaningful to you. Just like a museum curator, you will create an 

exhibition statement, label your 3 images, and include wall text for 

each image that is supported by academic research.Project Stages:Begin by thinking about what types of images/artworks are meaningful

 to you. What images make you feel represented? Why? What kinds of 

representations matter to you? Why? Why should visual culture be more 

inclusive?Begin searching for your 3 images/artworks. Please note that the 

images/artworks that you choose do not need to be rare or new – you can 

choose well-known images/artworks if they are significant to you and 

make you feel represented. Research your images/artworks so that you can

 clearly interpret the meaning (think about what you have learned about 

visual analysis). Once you have sufficiently researched your 3 artworks, begin developing an exhibition statement. Think

 of this statement as an opening paragraph to an expository and 

reflective essay. Your statement should be approximately 150 words and 

include your organizing principle (you may want to develop a 

theme/thesis that helps to unify your exhibit) and an explanation as to 

why these images are important to visual culture and significant to 

you. Include Images of each artwork and labels. Clearly label ALL artworks with as much identifying information as you can find (Artist. Title. Date. Media, dimensions.)Develop wall text for 

each image/artwork. Each wall text should be concise (4-5 sentences) and

 include relevant information that would help to educate a viewer if 

this image was in a museum. The wall text should briefly analyze each 

artwork based on your research (think about the 4 aspects of a visual 

analysis), and clearly describe why it is significant to you (personal 

reflection).  Each wall text should expand on the information from the 

exhibition statement, and provide a more specific analysis of each 

image/artwork. Edit and review for cohesion and clarity.Turn your document into a pdf for submission. Assignment parameters:Curator Project Proposal: Prepare

 a proposal that includes a short outline of your exhibition statement, a

 preliminary list of images (artist, title, date only in a list – no 

images are necessary for the proposal), and a preliminary bibliography 

with at least 1 source. Please also include 1-2 goals for your exhibit. 

Proposal is due August 15Research Skills: To provide support for your exhibition, you 

should consult at least three (3) reputable academic sources for your 

research beyond the use the of the class textbook/modules. Museum 

websites make a good source. Many excellent databases can be accessed 

through the LAHC library system.  Follow MLA guidelines for the format 

of your works cited page. See the many resources in the Research Support module.Organization: Exhibition Statement, Images, and “Wall Text”: You

 must submit your final project as a pdf by August 21st. You can convert

 any document (PP, word, pages, google slides, google docs) into the pdf

 that you will submit. Your project should begin with your exhibition 

statement. Then, include High quality, color images of 3 artworks with labels (artist. title. date, medium. dimensions.) Label as much information as is available to you. Wall text must

 be included for each of the artworks in your exhibition project. The 

last section of your project should be a works cited or bibliography page.
