Comments on "Container as Woman:"  It is my favorite. This project is meticulously thorough and informative. The images are well-chosen and interesting. Visually, it is interesting that the three images are so very different; while conceptually it is interesting that such different objects are so similar in the three different cultures they originate in. Connections were achieved through structured labels and links full of interesting information. Even the title is appropriate and well-chosen, and documentation is flawless. My only complaint with this exhibit is that I would have liked more pictures;  the viewer receives so much information that it would have been refreshing to have contextual photos in the links. None-the-less, Depicting the importance of woman in each culture, as stated in the introduction, is made clear through the artistic design of different containers. (LD)

"The Container As Woman" exhibit theme was also very original. The social roles of women and their importance were recurring themes throughout the semester, and therefore an important aspect of the lives of the three different culture areas that we studied. The only problem I had with this exhibit was the fact that the thematic statement talked more about the process and purpose of exhibition instead of about the theme itself. Aside from that, the theme and the pieces themselves were well developed within her label copy and everything seemed to come together in the end. (DE)

The labels and links in "The Container as Woman" are perfect in fulfilling the explanation of the concept pointed out in the introductory statement. Each and every aspect of the objects was explained and links used to more fully explain anything that mat be foreign to a viewer with minimal knowledge in this field of art. (IP)

"The Container as Woman:"  This exhibit was good but the introduction was lengthy, so it took away from the images in a way. The concept was displayed well. The links and labels were quite informative. (JS)

"Container As Woman" was interesting from a conceptual point of view, though not so much visually. The linking concept of containers as related to women is interesting, but containers in similar contexts and perhaps of similar size, shape, or function could have been used. The title and introduction, though verbose, were an effective prologue to the images and labels. The labels adequately explained the function and symbolism of each image, as well as addressing the conceptual connections, but were rather wordy.  The explanations could have been more succinct. The links provided useful information. Altogether, the exhibit successfully links the three images together conceptually. (CS)

I thought the  images in "The Container As Woman" seemed unrelated until the viewer read an explanation about their symbolism. The concept of the universality of women and their positions within cultures is a unique approach to viewing art, which can be both good and bad. It was positive in that it shows how three cultures can view women in similar ways. The presentation of the images was not particularly visually appealing (or obviously connected) and therefore, it might have lost a viewer’s interest if they had not continued reading. However, a catchy title and an introduction that adequately presented the exhibit's purpose were meant to encourage the viewer to do just that and were fairly successful in achieving this goal.  One of the strong points of this segment was the connection made between both forms and contextual meaning to each  culture's representation of meaning.  (AW)
