As a group we learned that art as a whole is a collective expression of emotions.  We learned that each piece of art intertwines with each other no matter the theme, with each piece obtaining its own beauty.  The expressions of each piece intertwined together express a different meaning to each individual onlooker.  Art is in the eye of the beholder and the individual alone decides what is beautiful, and meaningful to them.


With our theme being surrealism, each one of our POD members had a different perspective to what is bizarre, or unfamiliar, but in the end the connections were unmistakable. We started our presentation with works representing the definition of surrealism and carried on through the end where we presented a humanistic look into surrealism.


The challenge of this project was not the initial finding of the actual work, but finding the label information needed to complete our presentation.  We found it to be easy to type in a theme and have an infinite collection to view, but the research behind the pieces was what made this project challenging.


The job of being a curator was exciting in the sense that we as the individuals had free reign on choosing the theme's topic and our own personal art as being representative. Through this process, we found that the mediums of art is connected to each other on so many levels, that no matter what theme we chose, we could have found relation in each piece presented.
