Reminder and March 5 Class Meeting

Reminder: 

We will meet at Renaissance Gallery & Framing at 9:30 am on the next class meeting March 5th.

For those of you who missed class today Feb. 28, please do the following exercise and bring it to the March 5 class.

Pre-visualization Exercise for installation of artwork

1.How many works do you think you will exhibit?

2-D, 3-D, or Commination/Other

2.  What is the scale of each piece?

3.  How do you envision the layout of the components? Spacing? Draw this in a rough diagram.

4.  Add up the lateral length of each piece.  This =  what.  Caluculate between 12 and 20” as a lead in and out to the work / how much space from the edge and corner of a wall.  Add this to the total of the lateral  sum of the works.  Now subtract this from the wall length.  Divide by the number of spaces between the works and you will find the amount of space between the works.

Try this a couple of times with various layouts to pre-visualize various installation possibilities.  If you missed class, please bring your results to the next class.

I really enjoyed viewing and reading Adrienne and Christina's blogs.  I think I need to re-link Danielle as I can't find her blog.  I need links for Amanda and Jennifer.  Please post your progress class! Please check out each others work.

Please save the dates:  Friday, March 8, or Monday, March 11.  These are dates that we will be hanging the UMA Annual Juried Exhibit.  Please try to schedule about 3 hours or more to help.  This is an important "practice hang" for your Senior Project, and an opportunity to learn some gallery procedures and techniques.
