Blog 5b: Science Fair Proposal

1. What is your topic?My topic is "The Art of Curating"

2. What is the driving problem behind your experiment and the quote by an expert to support that problem? (Expert citation must be MLA format.)

“It is sad that the ADBID needs to pay for a survey to understand the attitudes and the needs of our neighborhood five years after it was established,”- Yulav BarZemer http://www.ladowntownnews.com/news/arts-district-demographics-study-shows-affluent-residents/article_72f3ad04-b739-11e1-afab-001a4bcf887a.html

3. What is your hypothesis? (Must be in If-Then form.)If the demographic of an art show were only the upper middle class, then how can we draw an even larger demographic to visit?

4. Write a paragraph summary of how you will perform the experiment.  Include the tools you plan on using.I will perform this experiment through a series of many many surveys. With the information like this at hand, I will attend many art shows and exhibitions just to understand the demographics that are outlined in LA to see if there is any variation to the type of person that it draws. Once I have my demographic information and have asked a few more questions, I will do intense research and on the field exploration to find what each demographic looks for in an art show and try to incorporate it into my art show. Also, I will create graphs and then make projections as to how you can achieve greater demographic diversity.

5. Select one of the following Project Categories for your experiment:
