Project #4: Art Curator Exhibition Reflection

This project was quite simple to work with. It was so simple that I was thinking about changing the theme of the exhibition but decided to stick with my "nature" theme since I was close to the deadline. If I had more time, I would have liked to work with a more complex and original theme. I tried using Google's art tool to search for pieces with "nature" as its main theme. I had to look at each painting presented and select the ones which I thought best fitted the theme I was working on and what artistic elements and principles they portray. I then worked on my presentation and tried to make it as clean and professional as possible. I went over each of my paintings and gave a quick description of what I see, which emotions the art reflects and what message I believe the artwork is trying to transmit. It took a lot of time to organize my work. In the end, none of the paintings I chose for the discussion forum made it into this final project because many of them did not give required details such as year, medium and scale. Overall this was a fun project that helped me see art in a deeper way and study how many artists paint in a symbolic way in order to express their beliefs or interests in a more occult way.
