Project 4-Curation reflection blog-Landscapes and nature in art

Reflection blog-curation project process

After watching the videos, looking at the discussion forum topic, I picked my theme, then looked at the sample powerpoints provided from past classes.
Nature, landscapes, and seascapes have always interested me more than any other theme in art. I have purchased many prints and sculptures of my favorite artists, all of which involve this theme. The search began with looking at different art gallery websites from around the country, taking virtual tours, etc. A few of the pieces I chose for my presentation do not have some of the crucial information such as size or date. I thought that if the image itself is powerful enough and the information provided was given and valid, that is what is most important. I spent several days on this powerpoint, making sure I was actually passionate about every piece I chose, and all for different reasons including different elements and principles being shown.
Overall, this was a good assignment I thought, because it allowed the students to choose a theme they felt stronger about than other topics, as well as choosing individual pieces of art, and being able to do research on them.
