Since the last update on my project, I have completed writing the descriptive captions that will appear under each of the images and items that will be included in my final exhibit. Each of the 55 items that will be included in the project were given captions that explained what they were and their importance to the overall themes I am trying to highlight in my exhibit. It is through these captions that the viewer will gain much of the context of my project.
The biggest challenge that I am facing right now is in trying to convey all of the information I have about my topic into a concise format that someone visiting my exhibit can understand and follow. I know what I want the major themes of my project to be, but I am finding it challenging to take the information I know and condense it down so that it is not overwhelming to the viewer.
The next step I will take in completing my project is to write the main text for each of the 13 different sections of my project. This text will provide the context and explain the importance of the different sections of my exhibit. It is from this text that the viewer will pick up on the major themes that I am trying to convey with my project.
