Process

First, divide the class into several groups of three. Each group represents a museum. In this case, each museum consists of a curator, a researcher, and a designer. Next, each group should get together to decide on a theme for the exhibition. To do this, you should go to the resource materials on Mondrian below for asistance. Try to browse as many sites with Mondrian works as possible, and read briefly on Mondrian's biography and artistic career. Each one of you should suggest any theme that come to mind while doing the browsing together. The curator will have a final decision on the theme. Different curators will usually have different emphasis and thus the selection of works will vary from museum to museum. This will bring about a slightly different research content, as well as slightly different way of presenting the show. A minimum selection of ten works is required for each group.

Additional notes:
Besides the resource materials provided, you are encourage to search online for as much information as you need to put up the Mondrian show. The technical skills link below provides some useful tutorials for your reference, in case you need help in some aspects of the Navigator Composer skill as you design the virtual gallery. The link on further readings provide information that you may or may not need in this project, yet it may help develop your interest further in related areas, such as curatorship, web museums, wed design, or further Mondrian research.
