- I have done a lot of research for more elements and information to add to my curation page this week. While I have not posted much of it yet, I have been keeping track of this information by putting it all in a word document, until I evaluate it and make decisions on what elements will make it onto my curation.
- After evaluating all of the possible elements that I found already for this page, I decided on some elements to add to the Ceramics and Glass page of my curation. For each of these elements I posted a good picture and a link to the artist to give them credit for their work.
-I also added some elements to the furniture page of my curation. Following the same process that I did when I added elements to the Ceramics and Glass page, after evaluating all of the examples of functional art furniture, I posted a picture of the best ones and links to give credit.
- I have continued to conduct research on the internet for new and interesting information and examples of functional art.

The
most interesting element that I found this week was a table with a
built-in planter down the middle. The table was designed by Emily Wettstein and
is a true work of art. I was amazed when I saw it, because it is such a
creative and innovative design. This is the link to Emily Wettstein's tumblr,
where she posts many examples of her designs, which are mostly furniture. I
added her planter table as one of the elements for the furniture page of my curation.
The
biggest obstacle I must face while creating this curation is figuring out what to write on the subpages of
my curation. So far I have posted pictures and links, but know that I need to
start narrating my curation as well. I think that as I add more elements to my
webpage that I will start to figure out what I should write.

The next three steps:
-I need to continue researching for information and elements
to add to my curation. I especially need to find more on jewelry and clothing,
as I have not found many curation-worthy examples yet. I know that what I am looking for is out there, I just need to dig a little deeper to find the best and most
unique examples to include.
-I will continue to evaluate and organize the information that
I have found already, so that I can make decisions on what to actually post I
have realized that this is the most critical part of the curation process,
because finding information is easy, but finding and using only the best is
what makes a curation high quality.
-I need to start the narration part of my curation. I am
still unsure of what exactly I want to write on the subpages of my curation,
but I’m sure this will become easier when I add more elements to my curation
webpage.
