Hello all!
Today is the last day of MUSE 489! I am sad but thrilled to finish this class up for the semester. I am so thankful for my work with Dr. Decker and her support. Because of this class, my writing skills have improved significantly. Countless essays and research throughout this semester have taught me much about the process of creating an exhibit and working with a community. Although I have not done much hands-on work with this exhibition, my research has shown that I wish to work in community outreach.
For this post, I want to brush up on a potential project idea for the exhibition. The head curator of the James F. Montpelier Gallery in Ogdensburg, NY, Dianne Drayse-Alanso, asked if we could collaborate on an interactive for the exhibition. One of the many ideas we had was an Adirondack Lean To. Adirondack Lean-tos are a three-sided structure that provides shelter for campers throughout the Adirondacks. For those who do not know, Ogdensburg is located slightly outside the Adirondack Park. So, many students are familiar with Adirondack Lean-Tos and have camped in these structures. Because of this, Dianne and I believe that creating one with students out of cardboard and recycled materials would be perfect for our exhibition- Finding Balance; Exploring our Relationship with Nature. Below is one of the photos we are using as inspiration for this project.
