    2. The text reflects on one's own experience of the exhibition, and/or the relationship with the experienced art by relying on notes. The experience can also be reflected on, for example, in relation to other art, one's own art making, and current topics related to the exhibition. Report length 1 page (A4).
    3. The exhibition report must include a photograph that also serves as an evidence of the exhibition visit. It can be, for example, a self-portrait in front of a work in an exhibition.
