Process

The first step to begin your museum project should be to find a name for your museum. It doesn't have to be fancy. Anything you want. Your next step is to find your art. Searching for and evaluating pieces of art is a difficult task. You can narrow down your search by looking at these web sites. Feel free to browse for your own as well. These sites have ideas about what art is and the feelings it gives you. Some of the sites have the art history time periods in order with the art that corresponds to them. You can find many pieces on these sites.

Once you have narrowed down your search, you need to learn more about your pieces.  Find out who created the piece, the mediums used, the art period, the date, and more useful information.  The pieces need to be evaluated based on your personal preference. Create a rubric/checklist to help you evaluate each piece, and include it in your presentation. The rubric/checklist should include criteria important to you when choosing a work of art. Discuss what was important to you about each piece and why you chose it. Discuss the feelings and emotions the piece evokes in you. Be sure to explain why the pieces relate to your community and would be beneficial to your gallery.  Also give your budget plans and prices of each work of art. It is up to you to decide how to deliver your presentation.  You can use anything from computer software to poster boards. The presentation needs to explain and discuss all the criteria you valued when picking the pieces for your museum. The presentation should also discuss each piece thoroughly and show images of the works you have chosen. Any other images you feel enhance your presentation can be added as well. Your presentation should show your gallery personnel why these pieces are the best for the new museum. The presentation should be ten to twelve minutes in length.
