Functional
considerations:
·
Has traffic flow been
planned for in this exhibition? Could you foresee any bottlenecking or problems
with traffic flow? Explain. I believe that the traffic flow was considered however I can see in the front of the gallery where Randi's pieces are there is a corner that I can see a traffic jam or other spectators being trapped.

Do exhibition
materials seem durable? What are the materials used both in the artworks and in
interpretative materials? Would you make changes to interpretive materials? If
so, what would they be? The Exhibition materiel seem durable for the most part, the only piece that makes me nervous is Jodi's pieces that look to be very fragile only being held up with small pins, if they were to be bumped I'm afraid they would break. i understand that they need to be subtle and intentional, however I think a sturdier pin could be beneficial.
·
Are the reading
heights of the labeling and the height at which works are hung comfortable? If
not, why not? Be specific. I think that the labels are placed well because they are low enough for children and disabled people to read easily, and for a taller person it is not very strenuous to read easily because of the crisp contrast of the black on white.
Are there any dangerous aspects within the exhibit? If so, what are they? I see the oranges on the floor as a dangerous aspect in the exhibition because I can see someone tripping and falling on one and it is close enough to the platforms with the television that it could end very badly.
Could a disabled person experience most of the exhibit? If not, why not? I believe a disabled person could experience this exhibit mostly except for Mark's interactive pillow on the floor because there is no way for someone in a wheel chair to easily get up and down to experience it.
·
Is the chosen
typography easy to read? If so, why? If not, why not? yes I find the Typography to be easy to read, the contrast of black against the white wall makes it clear.
Formal
considerations:
·
Describe the
typographic aesthetics: evaluate its effectiveness. For the purpose it serves it is very informative and professional. It gives the dimensions artists name and materials used and price.
·
Does the exhibit seem
to have a visual style? If so, describe it. Is it appropriate? The style is a little random, however the colors in the art pieces are all laid out in a way that makes the room flow nicely, mainly the way the red is dispersed through the room.
Conceptual
considerations:
·
Describe the overall
message of the exhibit (as you understand it) in one sentence. A show of nature.
·
Does the exhibition
have a linear sequence (a beginning and ending point), or is it a fluid
sequence (the visitor can start at any point in the exhibit and move to any
other point?)? There is not a specific sequence that I can see myself, I just see the theme of nature present in all of the pieces.

Visitor observations:
·
What do you believe
would be the most and least popular aspects of this exhibition for visitors
under the age of 25? I don't think that it is very interesting for younger viewers because there is not a lot of background information on what the exhibit is about, and many younger viewers don't understand that there is a concept and intention behind an art gallery so i think that maybe a pamphlet or paper with the artists statement on it could be beneficial in keeping younger viewers attention. I would also say that the interactive piece in the back could use more of an explanation because I personally didn't even want to touch it because i had no idea what to do.
·
If you could change
one thing in this gallery space, what would it be? Why? I would change the lay out of the bigger floor pieces because I don't think the flow is really good.
