UNBC Art Show Preparation

While discussing the preparation for the UNBC Art Show I really had no idea how the final product would turn out. In the past I have attended several art shows however, I have never helped plan one.

The day before the show our class had time to discuss what the different committees had been planning. I was please to see what great ideas everyone had. For example, creating a playlist for background music, making a banner to display the theme,  designating people to photography to capture the event and inviting a violinist to play during the show. 

As part of decorating committee, our group had several tasks to complete in order to get ready for the Art show. This included making snowflakes to hang up, taping up balloons and streamers, and arranging baskets with dry leaves in them. Emma and Amanda also spent the previous night making an amazing banner that displayed the events theme "Falling Into Winter", which was placed on the second floor catwalk. I was happy to see that with every job that needed to be done we were not short of hands, as numerous people participated in getting ready for opening. 

After everything was placed, hung, and taped, I thought the venue came together nicely and transformed our Teaching and Learning into a proper Art Gallery.

    I agree! I think that the Teaching and Learning Building looked like an outstanding art gallery.. and I think the students felt very special being part of such a proper looking art gallery :).

      You do have a fantastic class! And I am so pleased about that because you are getting to experience what a positive, collaborative culture among colleagues feels like. If such positive dynamics are not already present in the schools where you begin your career, you will want to begin to build them - once we've experienced a "learning community", it is the ideal condition that we want to return to.

    I'm glad you wrote abou the planning process. It is a large, showy event but it came off so well because each committee did its job well and everyone worked together across the committees. I'm glad you noted the way the ideas for this show came from you and your classmates - it did not have to be done exactly as it has been done before, which made it very special and unique to your group. Thanks for the part you played!
