Art Gallery Experience

Entrance to the Emily Carr Exhibit

Inside the Exhibit

The Emily Carr exhibit is in the Greater Victoria Art Museum down town Victoria B.C. Canada. Emily Carr is a painter that uses oils and acrylics. She studied art in France and came to Canada to use the landscapes as her inspiration. The exhibit is a smaller exhibit it is about 40 by 45 feet and approximately  1,800 square feet.  The wall were moveable and it was minimal light on the art. The walls were colored block and it represented her art well but it was slightly distracting because her art also used a lot of color.  The ceilings were wood planks and the floors were cement with a glossy finish. It was a simple layout which was easy to fallow and made it so you wouldn't miss any work. Color blocking the walls was a way for you to fallow it. There was lots of open space between the pieces so multiple people could look at the same piece at the same time. There is also a bench in the center of the exhibit so people can look at the work and take a rest. One thing that I thought was nice for the exhibit was the story of the artist was the first thing you saw once you walked into the exhibit. It was a smaller exhibit that was easy to fallow and represented Emily Carr well.
