This week’s accomplishments:
-I created a Google Sites page for my curation. It’s still
very basic, but I’m getting a feel for how it works and how to change its
appearance (since this is the first time making a google site).
-I have done a lot of internet research on functional art. I
have found many examples and pictures, as well as some useful information.
Since I’m still evaluating and comparing my information, I have not posted much
on my website yet.
-I decided on some categories / subpages that will appear on
my curation to organize my information. Currently they are: Ceramics and Glass,
Furniture, Clothing, Jewelry, and Other Objects. I may add to these or change
these as I decide on what information to use.
-I have started to write and design the home page of my
website. It still needs work so that it is interesting and aesthetically
appealing, but I have done some of writing for it.

The
most interesting link I have found is a website called trendhunter.com. It’s a
website that displays all various works of art and design. It has many examples of amazing and unique
works of functional art (but does not focus on functional art), as well as
information about the artists and creative processes. It also has links to
other sites that I have found helpful. After looking through only a few pages
on this website, I was amazed and very inspired by the art that I saw.
The biggest obstacle that I need to
overcome is that I need to start making solid decisions on what information and
examples should go on my curation. It is challenging to pick out the best and
most interesting information, because I am very into functional art, so all of
it is interesting to me. I need to find the information that will be the most
interesting and relevant to the visitors of my website. I am in the process of figuring this out, by evaluating
the load of information I have already found.

The next three steps:
-I need to finish designing and writing the text for the
home page of my curation website. Since first impressions are important, I want
to catch people’s attention with the homepage and keep them interested so
they will browse the rest my site.
- I need to make decisions about the content of my webpage.
I will do this by continuing to examine and evaluate the information that I have
already found. I expect to have to do some more research as well to ensure that
I include the best information that I can.
- Next I will need to organize the information that I decide
to use before posting it. I will organize the information so that it is clear and
meaningful. I don’t want people to be confused or uninterested by my curation, so this organization will be
a very important step in the curation process.
