Exhibit Preparation – Plan for the Artwork – Part 4
Upcoming Solo Exhibit
Part of a series of posts on the preparation for my upcoming solo exhibit, Dwelling, at Macky Gallery, Feb 17-March 17 with an opening reception Sunday, Feb 21 from 1-4 and artist talk at 2pm.
To see photos of the artwork as I’m creating it, check out my page on facebook: www.facebook.com/LisaCallFineArt. Images of Home #10, in progress, were posted over the last few days.
If you become a fan (click the ‘become a fan button’) you’ll see these updates in your newsfeed. If you aren’t on facebook you can still check out the page every once in a while as it is public and you don’t have to be on facebook to see the images. So I can focus on creating the artwork I’m posting the images on facebook as it is quicker than posting them on my blog.
Project Planning
In my last post I said I’d check in next with my progress. Decided I first wanted share my detailed project plan for the 7 weeks.
A quick recap – I estimate I have 273 hours of studio time to prepare for my solo show.
I have 7 weeks to do the work so I estimated how many hours I could work each of the weeks based on vacations/holidays/etc.
Tracking how many hours I worked each week wasn’t going to be enough to make sure I was on track for my show. If the art took longer than estimated to create, I could work the number of hours allocated for each week and still not finish on time.
I do project planning type stuff at the software engineering day job so so decided to do some detailed planning for my solo show to ensure I really do stay on track.
Based on the number of hours for each week I divided up all the work that needed to be done. With my estimates for how long each of the tasks will take this was pretty straight forward.
Below is my detailed project plan. And next post I’ll talk about my progress and what it’s like to work with such a detailed plan in place.
