Step 1: The Exhibition
1. What is the title of the exhibit?
well i was actually excited to come to Burchfield Penny because I had not been here in a long time. This means that by now they changed the exhibits. So because of that I went thorough all of them. However, the three that excited me the most were;
"Well Crafted: Roycroft Then and Now," "McCallum Tarry: Intersections," and "Iron Organism."
Iron Organism
2. What is the theme of the exhibition?
The theme of Well Crafted: Roycroft Then and Now, is a juxtaposition between old and new arts and crafts. They were all together in a flow of objects. Some of them were furniture others were sculptures that were abstract in form.
The theme for McCallum Tarry: Intersections was mainly focused on marginalized members of our society and the issues and struggles that they have had to go through.
The theme for Iron Organism simply in honor and explanation to to Iron and its properties. This exhibit explained how important iron is as an art material.
Step 2: The Gallery
1. What type of lighting is used?
Fof the Well Crafted: Roycroft Then and Now the light was very dim but every piece since it stood on its own had a spot light. However, the spot light did not look like a regular spot light because it still gave me a very settle feeling. Like it was not on my face.
McCallum Tarry: Intersections
2. What colors are used on the walls?
For the first exhibit the color on the wall of the gallery was not noticeable. Since most of the art work was not on the wall. I did not notice the wall as much. In the second one the walls were bright and White. They had most of the art work on the wall. The last one I also did not pay attention to because there was a lot of art work in the middle of the transit space.
3. What materials are used in the interior architecture of the space?
The materials that were use were videos mostly. There were also Stands to elevate the work. In some there were glass screen protectors to protect the sculptures.
4. How is the movement of the viewer through the gallery space?
In the first one the movement was familiar because It was like walking through a home. A very expensive looking home. It had furniture and sculptures that made look like Some one's rich home.
In the second one the movement was like a passage or a journey because you first saw a scream with a video then you turn to your right. Then after you went right there were photograph almost like an old family album. There was also a room you could go into that showed a video a a pregnant women.
The last one was like walking in an obstacle course because there was last work on the floor and in the middle of the way. There was artwork hanging from the sealing as well.
Step 3: The Artwork
1. How are the artworks organized?
the art work in the second exhibit was organized in frames like it was photos hanging in some ones home. The other two the art work was placed in the middle as if they got there on their own.

2. How are the artrworks similar?
In the second exhibit the art work was very similar to each other because most of it was photographs
In the first one the art work was very similar because most of it was some type of furniture you would have in your home.
In the last one the art work was similar because it was made with the same material.
3. How are the artworks different?
In the first exhibit the art work was different from each other because each was a piece of furniture that was separated from each other.
In the third exhibit the art work was also different from each other because it had different colors and shapes. They were all different objects.

The principles and elements of art that were most clear to me in this art work was shape and form. Shape because of the very feminine looking piece on the art work and form because of the form of the whole piece and the little round pieces that stick out of it.
This art work reminds me of a peacock. It did before I read the name. It looks very animallistic but at the same time feminine. The artist was trying to capture the femininity and beauty of a peacock into an abstract sculpture.

here a see the picture of an African American girl. She is looking forward She does not have a smile on her face but a smirk The picture is very clear not abstract but it is a small blur line. It may not be visible in this picture because of quality but it was visible in the other pictures. It is almost like the picture is lost in it's self.The principle of art that this piece uses is shape in a way the shape of her head and her collar attracts my attention. The artist wanted the viewers to get lost into the eys and history of this little girl.
In this piece i see many different shape pieces. They are separated. They look like corals. That was what it reminded me off. The principle of art used here are shape and color. Shape because of all the different shaped pieces and color because all the color here complement each other in a way. They make each other stand out. The artist wanted the viewer to see how resourceful is the iron and bronze. How natural metal can look when we usually look at it in an unnatural form.
