Conclusion

As a group we learned that it is easy to put together an exhibition as long as there is a common theme. Without the general theme there would be no real significance in putting this together. This process of creating this exhibition came naturally to us because we talked about different pieces from different artists throughout the semester, so we had a great idea of what was expected from us. The only challenge was selecting a theme. There were many topics we were interested in. Much of the discussion went into finding one that appealed to all group members, and that would benefit our class. The challenges of curating an exhibit are choosing a theme, and applying knowledge of artistic values and art history. Without this knowledge the exhibit would not have the structure needed to help the viewer grasp the works. The historical background explains to the curator the significance of the pieces and would bring order to the exhibition. We found it easy to connect artists with our theme because women have not been included in traditional art history. We wanted to show women and the amazing pieces they have to offer.
