What information is found in each of these calls?
   In each of these calls, there is information about the call for proposals, guidelines on what should be in the proposals, how to submit the proposals, the deadline, and who to contact for more information or questions.

How is that information organized?
   Each one starts out asking for submissions and why they are looking.  Then, each call tells the interested participant the guidelines on how they should submit their proposal. They tell the deadline and most tell when the expected response time is on whether their art was accepted or not. The calls ask for digital submissions and where to send it to and information on who to contact if their are questions or concerns.

Consider the design choices in each call. Name one positive aspect of each of the call’s organization of information and one negative aspect.
   A positive aspect about the Minnesota Artists Exhibition Program is the samples of proposals.
A positive aspect about BOX 13 ArtSpace is they give the opportunity of the option on where you would like your art in the gallery space.
A positive aspect about the Circuit Gallery is they have an expected response time.

How does the design relate to/reflect the content of the call?

Blog Post #2

Five Angels in the Millennium by Bill Viola are several large scaled video installations projected on a wall in a gasometer in Oberhausen, Germany. Each video has a male model interacting with water in slow motion. Each video also represents an angel; the birthing angel, fire angel, ascending angel, creation angel, and departing angel. Sound echos in the installation because of the large size of the gasometer, creating the water sounds from the video to get the viewer of feeling submerged as well. This is an act that Viola often does to his viewers with his work. The gasometer reminded Viola an experience in a church and he hoped to give his viewers the same experience. Here is a link of video of Bill Viola speaking about his work.
