The Cultural Resource Management Program at the University of Victoria is pleased to offer HA488K Exhibition Design and Installation
Dates: February 23- 28, 2015; on campus offering
Instructor: Tim Willis
Since exhibitions are the public face of your museum they should inspire powerful visitor experiences that convey your institution's mission and philosophy. This intensive course examines the entire exhibition planning sequence. It will address the foundation of planning, the planning process itself, designing, fabricating, and installing interpretive exhibitions that encourage museum visitors' understanding, participation, and emotional engagement. Fieldwork, team development and presentation of an exhibition design proposal provide you with opportunities to build exhibition planning and design skills.
 You will consider:
*The evolution and roles of exhibitions
*Visitor needs and characteristics
*Managing the exhibition process: the creative brief, the critical path of the project, team roles and responsibilities
*Critiquing exhibitions and determining success
*Interpretive planning: writing for exhibitions, storytelling, effective communication
*Evaluation - before, during and after the completion of the exhibition
*Design tools: communicating the concept, controlling traffic flow, the importance of sightlines, rhythm, color, texture, and lighting
*The power of graphics: interpretive text, illustrations and images
*Effective interactive presentation
*Choosing media: current trends vs. traditional values
Registration Deadline: January 26, 2015; late registrations accepted if space permits
