Museum / Gallery Visit

This assignment is due February 29th @ 6:00 PM

Turn it in via a link to a Google Doc in the comment section below.

REQUIREMENTS: 
For this assignment you are to visit a museum or gallery of your choice. I have suggested a few that might be of interest. However, you are free to choose. You will write a  review that must be at least 500 words. What does 500 words look like? Click here for an example.  Your review must include photographic proof that you were actually there. It is to be included within the document. It would be a good thing to use images to support your writing. However, be polite and ask before taking any photos.

In your review focus on the following points. You may have additional. If you do by all means use them. Use the points as guidelines for your review. It is possible that you may not touch upon every point within 500 words.

• What gallery/museum did you visit?
• What was the work about?
• Was the work successfully displayed? If not why?
• Was the work successfully grouped? If not why?
• Comment on the degree or professionalism or was it  lacking?
• What supporting texts were available and did they offer insight to the artist(s)?
• Did the work fit the venue or not?
• How was the show or exhibit promoted?
• Who was the target audience?
