Collecting and Curating Meaning-Filled Objects | Craft in America

Students will curate an exhibition of artworks, write a vision statement to explain their curatorial choices, create a two-dimensional exhibition plan, and create object labels. Students will learn that people often collect objects that have meaning and tell a story and speculate about why people collect objects. Students will learn about the roles of collector and curator. Interdisciplinary connections may vary depending on the objects collected. Students meet long-time collector Forrest L. Merrill, curator Michele Ellis Pracy, and fiber artist and weaver Kay Sekimachi who creates three-dimensional and sculptural pieces.
