Blog 7

The Botero exhibit seemed like it was very nicely planned out. It has a nice flow to it and it is easy to get around. The exhibit dose not look cheaply done and everything looks very elegant, neat and clean. As a short person I liked how I could easily read the labels and it was not awkward for me to stand on my tipy toes or squat down to read them. The text that was chosen for the labels is very easy to read and pleasing to the eye as well. The exhibit is very handicap friendly the works of art are big enough for anyone to see and they are at a comfortable height.

The entire exhibit is very nicely laid out and unified. The shapes of the spaces are very similar and are easy to follow around and they make the viewer want to continue going and viewing the next work. The coloring of the walls helps as well the colors are very nice and unified and help bring the exhibit together.

The exhibits message is to show how Botero evolved with his work. There is one piece in the exhibit that does not belong and it is the work that the museum put in there to make a connection to another but it is not Botero's. The exhibit seems that it wants you to see all of his paintings and then leads you into the room filled with all of his cast works. I believe that it would be obvious to visitors.

Overall I believe the exhibit is very nice for all ages and I thoroughly enjoyed it and learned a lot from it. There really aren't any negatives about the exhibit it made me feel very comfortable and they lay out helped me enjoy the art work even more. The only change I would do is taking the non Borteo sculpture out of the exhibit.
