HA488C Communicating Through Exhibitions
November 3-8, 2014; on-campus offering, University of Victoria, BC
Instructor: Tim Willis
The course is all about developing our practice in creating exhibitions that connect and communicate to their audiences effectively. As a foundation, we shall analyze what makes certain exhibitions successful and how to look at exhibitions with a critical eye. While we shall explore the entire planning process - from concept to fully realized design - the main focus of the course will be on the story. Mastering the art of interpretive planning is vital to the creation of exhibitions that work. We will look at the principles of powerful interpretation, the construction of a story and the ways in which content is written to best effect. The course relies heavily on real life examples and practical exercises. You will also gain experience in planning an exhibition through collaboration as a member of a team. Through this course participants will:
*         Become familiar with the diversity and roles of interpretive exhibitions
*         Learn to critically analyze what makes a successful exhibition
*         Consider the characteristics of visitors, their needs and learning styles
*         Understand an exhibition as a medium of communication
*         Understand what makes an engaging visitor experience
*         Understand the exhibition planning process, and the roles of key team members

*         Understand how to shape a successful Interpretive Plan
