Reflection on the Creation of an Art Exhibit:
“Flashback to Harlem”
Curated by Ryan Stockton
Creating an art exhibit and a theme for an exhibit was a lot more work than I thought it was going to be, the most challenging part of the whole process was coming up with a good name and theme. To start with my title and theme, I have always been interested in the Harlem Renaissance and remembered that there was so much interesting artwork that was created during that time period, which is why I chose the Harlem Renaissance and 1920s time period for the theme of my exhibit, which led me to think of the title “Flashback to Harlem. Moving past the title and theme of the exhibit, the actual process was very time consuming, especially finding quality artworks to display in my exhibit, as well as finding all of the additional information needed, such as media, size and the date the artwork was created. I think the whole process was made a lot easier due to the fact that a lot of the previous projects helped me a lot in the creation of this exhibit, such as the knowledge on how to properly describe the artwork, give an interpretation and explanation. As for the process of creating the exhibit itself in powerpoint, I thought this process was very easy as I am very familiar with powerpoint and I think it is fun to experiment with different designs and fonts to make sure the theme of the physical powerpoint fits well with the theme of my exhibit. For my powerpoint, I was able to find the perfect background design and fonts that went great with my theme as they were an old school design, very similar to something that you would find in the time period of the Harlem Renaissance. Overall I thought this was a fun project to create my own art exhibit, and the part I liked the most about this project was that fact that I was in charge of the whole process, as the exhibit could be created and organized my way, with my ideas.
