A Wild life art exhibit.

Me as a currator Art Appreciation presentation

The Venue I would like to have the opening of the show be in themountains and held outside, with all of the art

displayed on easels were people that come would be able to get more of

a feel of the outdoors and hear all the great nature sounds.

After the opening I would like to have the pieces displayed in the Foothills art Gallery because I think it

has more of a rustic feel to it, and is close to the mountains.

While the pieces are being displayed at foothills I would have them play some nature sounds in the

background to give an outdoorsy feel to the show.

Carl BrendersMy favorite wildlife artist is Carl Brenders he was born in Belgium in

1937. His artwork is so realistic it is breathtaking.

Josh KeyesI chose Josh Keyes because he has a very unique kind of

wildlife art most people probably haven't seen. I had neverheard of Josh Keyes until this semester and I have been

very interested in his work ever since. Josh primarily uses acrylics.
