Art Curator Project

I found the art curator project to be very challenging. The hardest part about it was finding the works. I was looking to make it a more broad theme, but then struggled with finding sufficient works. At first I considered doing something with works where the background outshines what is going on in the foreground, because those works intrigue me and it would make for an interesting exhibit. A good example is Edward Hicks' Peaceable Kingdom. In the foreground the animals lay together, but the men in the background and William Penn become the spotlight. How I would search for works like those was the problem. I decided to go with a theme of death, and try to work in elements of nature and abstract works as well. I think it turned out okay, but I'm not completely satisfied with it after viewing a few other students projects. I still think my theme is too specific, and would have liked to do an exhibit with a more broad, interpretation based theme.
