Start your paper with your curator’s statement about your theme. For example: it might be your interest in a particular historical era, or period of art that you have studied, i.e. “The Figure in Classical Greek Art”. It might be a way to connect art with another interest of yours, i.e., “Animals in Art”. It might be about a medium that you like, i.e., “Digital Technology in Art Today”, or a trend that you have noticed, “Artists who use Fabrics in Their Work”. Talk about your theme and what you are trying to ‘say’ with this exhibit. What interested you in this idea? Does it relate to another area of interest in your life? Does it say something about the world that you are interested in, or thinking about? Do you have a love of a particular medium or period? Why?

They may be historical, contemporary, or a combination.

Discuss each piece individually. Include the following information
