Introduction
After a curatorial tour of an exhibition using Rose Library materials, students will compose an essay suitable for inclusion in the exhibition catalogue. There are two options for this assignment:
- Option 1: Each student will independently compose an essay about an object on display as if it will be included in the exhibition catalogue, Instructors may either 1) require student essays to fit the tone and style of the existing catalogue; or 2) allow students to identify and write to a different audience than the existing catalogue, making style and tone choices based on that.
- Option 2: The students in the class will collaborate to create a class exhibition catalogue. Each student will be responsible for one essay to include in their catalogue. The class will work together to determine style, audience, tone, and other editorial considerations.
