Q Instructions Project Two: Part 1 Curated Exhibition Project Proposal: Due Week 5 Before you submit the proposal, see full instructions for the exhibition project. (Project Two: Part 2 instructions follow). In a well-constructed paragraph (300 word minimum), address the following: • As Curator, what theme/topic have you selected for the exhibition? • Why have you selected this theme/subject? • What type of format do you plan using to present the exhibit (PowerPoint or other format – such as Prezi or Video, et al..)? • Where will you search for images? Include at least two websites you plan on using. • Why do you think your topic will contribute to our understanding of the subject? Project Two: Part 2: Curated Exhibition: Due Week 8 Directions for the Curated Exhibition Project: Students will assume the creative role of curator and produce an exhibition on a theme/topic relating to some aspect of course material. Sample themes/topics include but are certainly not limited to: Places of Worship, Death, Architectural Innovation, Ornament & Jewelry, Roman Wall Painting, Hadrian’s Villa, et al…If selecting a particular theme, the curated exhibit must address at least three cultures covered in the course: Ancient Egypt, Ancient Near East, Ancient Greece, Ancient Rome, Early Christian, Romanesque & Gothic, and Proto Renaissance. The exhibition must include 7-10 relevant images. Students are expected to visit several different websites to retrieve images (a minimum of three different sites). The goal of the exhibition is to take a viewer through the theme/topic in a connected and seamless manner. The organization of the exhibition is paramount to the viewer's experience. Depending on your chosen technology platform, you may envision the exhibit’s physical space/layout. Consider how you present information for the viewer to gain a more formal understanding of the chosen theme/topic. You may for example, choose the obvious chronological ordering, or you may opt for a different flow. Exhibition Text: The following will be embedded in the exhibition: • Title of the exhibition • Introduction that includes what as Curator - you want the viewer to gain from this presentation. What was your rationale for selecting these images? • Include roughly a paragraph for each image that explains its importance. o Provide a brief visual description and note how the theme/topic is reflected. Consider the style and context of your selected works. o Highlight important visual or historical connections between images. • Wrap-up with a conclusion that ties your work together. How does your exhibit contribute to our understanding of course material? • Works Cited in MLA or APA citation style

For this exhibition I have selected the theme of Gothic art and architecture and for that same purpose, I have decided on the title “Fable of Darkness.” As a Curator, I believe I will be able to do justice o this. Gothic is associated with dark themes, mystery, horror and death which I find is very fascinating. Also, I have checked out the gothic style architecture that was prevalent during the Romanesque period and I have gradually developed an interest in it. Given the chance, I decided to immediately plunge into this topic and work on it for the exhibition project.
