Acting as a Curator

I just finished a project using Microsoft Powerpoint, where I created an art exhibition entitled Motion & Movement.  I chose this for my theme and title, since methods for demonstrating motion in art is intriguing to me.  I selected and organized 15 works into a logical, enjoyable presentation of varied works of art (including architecture, sculpture, painting, and video).  These artworks exemplify the following: the use of line and other elements and principles of art to give the idea of movement, works that require the movement of viewers for a full appreciation of them, works that document the movements of the artist, historical movements and the movement of time.  I used the ArtLex website, Google, and Bing to locate the works.  I selected the majority of my works from among those referenced in Living with Art, 10th Ed. by Mark Getlein, since I have been studying these and it is important for a curator to be familiar with the works in her exhibit.  This was a valuable exercise as it gave me the opportunity to explore an interest of mine and to think about the artworks I have studied in terms of themes that connect them.
