My Experience As An Art Curator

Before creating a project, I had to first figure out what it meant to become an Art Curator. First I watched a few videos, such as Art Curator, Interview: Josh Yiu Assistant Curator of Chinese Art, Interview Wayne Baerwaldt curator Montreal Biennale, Felicity Fenner, curator at the Venice biennale and Peter Alter, Curator. After watching the selected videos, I had to choose a theme. This was one of the hardest steps because I did not know what to base my project on. I searched on the Internet for a few days, and I also looked at pervious project that the Professor has posted. I came across my theme by listening to Beyonce’s song called, “Who Run The World? Girls!” After choosing my theme I had to choose which women I will focus on. I wanted to have a representation of all women who contributed to society, whether they were activist, slaves, educator or first lady. When I chose my fifteen women, I had to do research on them so I can figure out how well they relate to my theme. After gathering the research, I search for pictures that I felt highlighted their achievements best. When I got my pictures, I then brainstorm the principles of arts and elements I found and then related it back to my theme. This was an interesting experience because I was able to learn that it takes patience and time to create a project as an Art Curator. As an art curator you not just an artist, but a historian and educator.
