Step 1: The Exhibition
Questions about the exhibit:
1. What is the title of the exhibit? "Let There be Light"
2. What is the theme of the exhibition? The theme of this exhibit was photography and interactive installation. There were neon colors all over the room, and video connections showing pictures of people's faces reflecting and changing configuration as the lights shined on them. It was very interesting to be in this exhibit and to experience the effect of the lights on the photography.

3. What materials are used in the interior architecture of the space? The materials used were tile, paint, and water color.
4. How is the movement of the viewer through the gallery space? The movement throughout the gallery space was rather slow because the viewer needed to take time to view all of the art work and focus on what they found to be the most important and interesting.

4. How are the artworks framed? Some art works were displayed , some were framed, some were behind glass, and some art works were out in the open.

Answer this question: What did you think of visiting the Gallery and purposefully looking at the exhibition from a different perspective - the physical space, the architecture, theme, etc.?
I thought that visiting the art gallery for the purpose of this assignment was very educational. Usually, people go to art galleries for pleasure but when I actually took the time to analyze the exhibits and the space I learned a lot about the reasoning behind which art works were there.

This work of art stuck out to me because it was really intriguing to look at. The shapes used and the texture and pattern really made it pleasing to look at. Looking into this glass pieces of this work of art allowed you to see your own reflection which was very interesting to me.
