Field Trip Response

After visiting the galleries I have a greater understand of what work and complications come with owning and maintaining a gallery. It was interesting to see how gallery owns prepare for different exhibits. For example moving walls, making 3D models and lighting change. It was interesting to see the different shapes, wall colors and layout of galleries. The display in each room was different in each gallery- giving all a unique specific to the artist and his or her work. Sculptures were handled very differently than painting or photographs. The gallery owns are extremely knowledgeable and understand how displaying art certain ways can enhance the experience significantly and do so with each exhibit. The different styles gave me a new perspective and expanded my ideas of how I would one day like to display my work. Suddenly producing art is more than just making something pretty - it is creating an experience using all the senses rather than just visual stimulation.
