Art Gallery visit #2
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.
Step 2: The Gallery
Questions about the physical space:
1. What type of lighting is used? The lighting in the gallery was light, and shadowy. Certain areas were darker than others depending on which type of art was on display in each area.
2. What colors are used on the walls? The walls were light colored, white and a light tan.
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.
5. How are the artworks identified and labeled? The artworks were labeled with plaque stating their name, artist, year, and medium.

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 art work is created by Charles E. Burchfield, called "Nightfall". The medium used for this art work is gouache on paper. When I looked at this photo I saw dark skies and a peaceful atmosphere. I felt that it was very relaxing to look at. This work of art is very balanced and emphasizes the shapes used throughout the picture.
This art work was created by Allison Hoag, called "Inhalation", in 2012. The medium used for this work is blown and cast glass, mixed media. 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.
This art work was created by Nancy Valle, called "Push-Pull" in 2013. The medium used to create this was terra cotta ceramic and glaze. When I first looked at this sculpture, I didn't really know what to think of it, but it did interest me. Color, texture, emphasis, and balance were all used when creating this work of art.
