Well this is cool, my first exhibition ( that I’ve been to). Unlike the first time where we had a few months to prepare we got told about it the week before. We had one full week to try our best and meet the expectation. Before we start this was our driving question “ How does language inspire adventure?” Now what does that mean.
Well I interpret it as different places have other languages except for English. It may be an adventure to learn these languages and different cultures. To learn more of this we went to Oregon for a week! We did a lot of cool things there some of them being going to lots of buffets, the Hatfield marine science centre, and the Tillamook creamery. These places were really cool and I also got some souvenirs including a hoodie.
Why am I telling you about Oregon if this post is about a exhibition is that we had to do the exhibition about Oregon. We had to take pictures while we were in Oregon and made ads about it. Before we left we learnt a bit about placements, right colouring and how to make a proper ad. This whole project has been about ads since the very start. To start off with the project we did a hike to take some pictures to create a first draft of an ad. For the duration of the trip we had to make a book all about Oregon which was pretty cool. More about that later for now here is my ad for Oregon.
For the exhibition my group created some Oregon merch like hoodies and water bottles to go along with the ads. Sadly they didn’t get printed but everything else went fine. We had to tape paper to a wooden board to make it look good while some other groups got blue boards where they didn’t have to do anything to. To make our station a little more exiting we made a game. It’s essentially beer pong but without the beer. It was a circle of cups but in the middle there was one red cup. If you made it into one of the outside cups you have to do a challenge and you get a brownie. But if you made it into the red cup you don’t have to do a challenge and you get a cake pop. We also had a thing with shells. They are supposed to resemble shells we found on the many beaches we went to in Oregon. One of our group members talked about the shells and some facts.
Sadly I don’t have any pictures of the exhibition because we weren’t allowed phones out. But we did get a break for 15 minutes after a couple hours where I watched the hockey game. It was game 3 of the Stanley cup final the Edmonton oilers vs the Florida panthers. Sadly the oilers lost that game but the next game they won with 8 goals to 1 after being 3 games to none a must win for the oilers.
In conclusion I was very tired after the exhibition and went to bed. The exhibition was on a Thursday so I too wake up early for the last day before the weekend. Was this project fun? YES it was and I would highly recommend. Also here is my book of Oregon
