You can use the resources of two genres to express your own impressions of the exhibition. In a review, you can focus on evaluating the works of art that you see. The reportage makes it possible to create the impression of a "live" picture in the text.
Instructions
Step 1
Write your review in the review genre. It is designed to evaluate works of art. In the introduction, tell the reader about where the exhibition is taking place, what it is dedicated to. Briefly present the concept of the event in the form in which it was formulated by the curators themselves - usually they announce such information at the time of opening or post it as an announcement on the website of a museum or gallery.
Step 2
Correlate the official concept with what you saw at the exhibition with your own eyes. You can move from general to specific and first describe the impression you received from all the works as a whole. And only after that to speculate, due to what such an impression was formed. Or use the induction method. Stop in detail on all significant works. If this is important in this case, tell us about the creator of each object, its creative evolution, favorite techniques. Give an assessment to each work, giving reasons for it. And then draw a conclusion: did the organizers succeed in implementing the declared idea, was the ordinary visitor able to catch and feel it. At the end of the text, briefly state your impressions of the exhibition.
Step 3
If you want to make the text more dynamic, lively, use the form and techniques of reporting. This will not change the essence of your story - you will have to analyze all the same aspects of the exhibition. But the formation of your impression should take place "before the eyes" of the reader. To do this, you need to describe everything that happens in real time and in the first person. Of course, you should not focus on the insignificant details of your trip, but it is important to maintain the illusion of the continuous movement of time. Include live pictures to illustrate the mood of that evening. Add "overheard" interesting remarks from visitors. Add ratings from curators and regular viewers. This will make your conclusions more understandable and logical for the readers.
