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.

    This year, University of Maine at Augusta’s graduating art students are showcasing their final projects in an exhibition entitled “Incidental Consequences.” This is a conglomerated accretion of 9 individual artistic styles and personalities.

    The show’s diverse contents are as follows: photographic works, a video installation, a graphic novel, black & white drawings, mixed-media prints, and plush sewn creatures.

    (Tagline for each of us? ..with our info)

    “Incidental Consequences” marks the fall out of an epic journey towards this final exhibit, which is being held in the Danforth Gallery on the UMA campus. The opening reception will take place on May 11th, at ___________. (Other information needed?)

    “Incidental Consequences”: It all comes from a little bit of fall out.
