End of Internship

The Story!

In October, late October, Robert Kuhl granted me the option of interning at MCASD, I had been asking over and over again if I could intern, and finally I had the option. So I said yes.

Mentor #2, Elizabeth Yang-Hellewell

Reflection:

My time here has been short, yes, but I have experienced a lot with a lot of people at MCASD, mainly my mentors and the Teen Art Council (which I am now a member of).

I have experienced a lot here, mainly because of the significant projects I have been assigned, and the people I have met. I never exactly knew how a museum worked, or what kinds of people worked in a museum, and though every museum is different, I feel like I understand more. The artists are not the only people who work hard, but its also the people who work tirelessly to get their art exhibited.

But more on my project...

On my first week I was stressed over not finishing my video, that my editing would take too long, little did I know that the rain storm would cancel the second Teen Art Council meeting on my second week, you know, the one that I had all of my interviews scheduled. Long story short I eventually got the interviews done at different times, and though they weren't what my original plan had wanted, they worked, and the video is done.

I really wish the 3 weeks could have been longer, because I feel like I'm only now getting used to working here and doing what my mentors want of me, but I guess that's life. I feel like I can return to school with more knowledge and experience after that little sample of what the real world is like.
