Unit 10 · Project 1
Mounted Best Works
You'll select your 3–5 strongest pieces from the year and prepare them for gallery display. Each piece needs to be mounted (attached to a backing board or framed), labeled with a title card (title, medium, dimensions, and your name), and in display-ready condition (clean, repaired if needed, and presentable). The selection process is itself a curatorial act — think about which pieces best represent your growth and range as an artist.
